Manufactured on a very limited basis in 1980, these Luger carbines were intended to commemorate 75 years of Mauser production. These pistols all have a beautiful Mauser high polish blue finish, straw colored small parts, and beautifully multi-point checkered dark European walnut forend, shoulder stock, and fully checkered grips. When issued these were almost identical to the original 1902 Luger carbines, and include the 300 meter adjustable rear sight, inverted "v" front sight mounted on a raised barrel ramp, and grip safety. The top of the chamber area has the new/current Mauser family crest that consists of the Wurttemberg Crest in the center, flanked by a crowned standing lion on the left side and a large stag on the right, with a gold "DWM" logo etched on top of the front toggle. The right side of the barrel extension is marked with serial number, "K 157 von 250". The matching serial number is marked on the right side of the frame, shoulder stock attaching iron and shoulder stock itself. The left side of the frame is marked with a gold relief "75 Jahre/Parabellum-Pistole/Mod. Karabiner". The front grip strap is marked "MAUSER-WERKE OBERNDORF GMBH" and the back of the frame is marked "MADE IN GERMANY". This beautiful example is accompanied by its original matching walnut Luger carbine stock. Since this pistol was originally manufactured with a wooden shoulder stock, it has been removed from the NFA and reclassified as a curio and relic with the Bureau Of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and is currently specifically listed on page 38 of ATF publication 5300.11 (2007). It states "Mauser Parabellum 75th Year Commemorative Luger Karabiner with accompanying shoulder stock."

Excellent plus overall with 99% original blue and straw finishes. There is one very small spot of oxidation on the right side of the sight ramp. The grips are excellent with sharp checkering and attractive grain. The stock is excellent. Mechanically excellent.
