This is a rare Matt-Hartverchromt Mauser Parabellum. Mauser made only a few of these pistols in the beginning of the production. This model is interesting for three aspects:

1.     The finishing, it is Matt-Hartverchromt with Ivory Grips and gold plated small parts;

2.     It is a transitional model. Although the pistol is dated 1972, it has the frame and the barrel of the 06/73 model but the trigger, the safety lever, the side plate and the breech block are from the 29/70 model.

3.     Internally the pistol has the last three digits of the serial number roughly etched not only on the rear toggle but also on the Side Plate, Breech Block and Safety Lever (see serial numbering for more information)
