I prefer the pistols that were made by Mauser because of their improved metallurgy. Mauser made pistols from 1930 to 1945/46 and used frames supplied by DWM together with the machinery for the first few years. You can identify a reinforced Mauser made frame by the "hump" at the end of the frame, or the 1937 version by dimples on the stock lug rail.

I had a number of Mauser made P.08s but have only two left that were the most accurate and best shooting ones and they are both reissued VOPO guns.
