Mauser Parabellum 29/70 Display Prototype – Serial 10.0012

Brands: Mauser
Model: Luger P08
NOT FOR EXPORT

The Mauser Parabellum 29/70 Display Prototype, originally a Swiss 06/29 Luger, was modified by Mauser in 1969 for presentations to Interarms. This rare prototype, with serial number 10.00 12, comes with its original Mauser-marked box and accessories featuring unique German annotations from the Mauser team.

Description

The Mauser Parabellum 29/70 Display Prototype is a unique piece of history. Originally a late-production Swiss 06/29 Luger, this pistol was acquired by Mauser from the Swiss government and modified in 1969 to resemble the Mauser Parabellum 29/70. Serial 10.00 12 prototype is the highest serial number of the three documented ‘Display Group’ pistols. These pistols were specifically created by Mauser for presentations and negotiations with the Interarms company of Samuel Cummins in Alexandria, Virginia, showcasing the company’s commitment to innovation and quality.

The Mauser Parabellum 29/70 Display Prototype boasts a range of unique features that intrigue and fascinate. These include smooth toggle knobs, a smooth safety lever, magazine release, and locking bolt knobs. It has a stepped front sight, a U-notch rear sight, and a short grip safety. The ejector is strawed, while the sear safety is blued, adding to its unique aesthetic and mechanical configuration.

The historical value of this prototype is significant, extending to its original Mauser-marked cardboard box, which survived along with the pistol. The box, although missing a serial number and caliber label, contains a handwritten number “53” on both sides and holds a Mauser-marked magazine with a black plastic bottom, an unmarked takedown tool, and a cleaning brush with aged bristles. The handwritten German annotations on the box’s exterior and the Styrofoam interior are of particular interest. These notations, likely made by Dr. Rolf Gminder or another Mauser team member, offer insight into the pistol’s history and intended use.

Chambered in .30 Luger (7.65mm) with a 120mm (4 ¾”) barrel, this Mauser Display Prototype is a remarkable collector’s item. It impressively blends Swiss and German innovation, adding an intriguing historical background to its appeal.
