Researches...
The
research
has
been
based
on
the
analysis
of
archives
as
well as guns and accessories.
The
authors
had
the
opportunity
of
studying
official
archives
from
Nations
(Germany,
France,
Norway)
involved
in
the
Post
WWII
development
and
use
of
the
Parabellum
as
well
as
the
Mauser archives.
The
direct
access
to
the
Paul
Mauser
and
Georg
Luger
archives
help
the
authors
in
explaining
with
an
extensive
amount
of
details
the
relationship
between
the
two
inventors.
See
www.paul-mauser-archive.com
.
The
access
to
the
Mauser
Archive
from
Prof.
Dr.
Gminder
and
to
the
Archive
of
Mr.
Görtz
provides
an
incredible
level
of
details for the first time available.
Thanks
to
the
complete
set
of
Blue
Prints
and
production
sheets
the
complete
description
of
the
guns
compared
with
the
previous productions is available.
Frequent
visits
to
Oberndorf
meeting
the
people
involved
in
the
post
WWII
Parabellum
development
provide
an
in-depth
knowledge about all the small production details.
