That is an interesting piece of information. Still think production data being used in Mauser blogs is not completely accurate. Several blogs report that all Mauser American Eagle Edition pistols were made in 1977. That is probably true for most of them but for the fact that the pistol in question was purchased and delivered to the buyer in the 3rd quarter of calendar year 1976 ( the last quarter of German fiscal year 1976) and had to have been made and shipped before the purchase. Also without knowing the exact production and print date for the Interarms 1976 catalog have to assume that the cover picture of the Mauser HSc American Eagle Edition pistol was taken some time in 1976 which means some of the guns were made in 1976.
A complete production record should show Pistol 714 and Pistol 715 as being made in Fiscal and calendar year 1976. This is not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things but is useful to point out that history does not always leave behind perfectly accurate information especially when it passes thru many hands.
