Ive been offered a nib Mauser Interarms Swiss-style Luger in 9mm Para, with the American Eagle stamp.
It has the 6 in bbl, grip safety and a matching, as new original flap holster which came with the pistol. The Swiss grip is a bit disconcerting but the piece looks cherry. The guy asks $525.00 firm.
Is this a good deal? I would probably be shooting it, not keeping it in the safe the rest of my life.
I can find very little info on the Mauser Parabellum re-makes except they were made in the early '70's. Would appreciate some comments or info. Thanks, Dun.

The price you name is the lower end of the range of the Mauser Parabellums I have seen for sale.

This sounds like a great deal for a new in box Parabellum. I paid considerably more for a very clean (4" bbl) example. I wouldn't hesitate on a deal like this.

They were produced from late 1970 til 1986. You might want to checkout the Luger Forum at: http://www.lugerforum.com/. I'm planning to purchase a copy of "The Mauser Parabellum" by Francis C. Allan. It's available for $30 ppd. from

Thanks for the info and the link. I registered over at the lugerforum.
The problem with Lugers... I find that I can't have just one!
Looks like I need to get a "restorable" P-08 that I can customise a bit.. always wanted one with ivory grips and some engraving.
