No, I didn't see that one, but mine was a very good price - £425 which included the postage. The example you saw is a pre-war commercial. Note the safety, there is a hole in it. Wartime commercials had no hole in the safety. The only other wartime production gun was the Prussian contract in 9mm with the red (or black) 9 on the grip.

Beware of Mauser's bearing red (or black) 9's. They are not always what they appear to be. None of these guns are stamped with the caliber. There are plenty of repro red 9 grips knocking about.

The only screw is the one for the grips. Everything else just slots together. Many a person has come unstuck taking one of these guns apart. But really they are quite simple to completely strip.
