1989 Sales Flyer Cover

Rustykamel · 05-29-2014, 08:42 PM

Hi, I thought that some of you might enjoy the front cover from a sales flyer that I picked up in November, 1989. A number of handsome Parabellums are pictured on the four pages, but the cover pictures weapons that I think superb. Best wishes, Jim

Oh, I like it.

They really did create some great eye candy. A lot of craftsmanship went into those special editions.

Sorry,as a newbie I should be quiet. But just purchased my first shooter 1941 mongrel mismatched & it's beautiful.These engraved pimp pistols look like something Saudi prince would carry. Maybe an Afghan Khyber Pass soldier. Tacky. IMHO.

To each his own.These weren't regular production pistols, they were made for trade shows, special order and such. Probably one of a kind and I sure wouldn't mind owning one. But I am somewhat biased, I like the postwar Mausers.

The grips are absolutely beautiful. I'd love to have a set!

They were still making/selling these in 1989??? I could have sworn that I read here that 1977 was the last year...

I sure wish that those two Mauser Parabellums were resting comfortably in my gun safe. That would put a real big smile on my face. Thanks for posting the photo.
