As I recall —
The Jubilees were towards the end of things, but later serials included a “run of 500 hundred” P7M8’s (or maybe 100 - but I think 500). These were supposed to be the final run. Each came with a serialized certificate of authenticity. They were not beautifully marked like the Jubilees. But then after that “final run”, a few more were released.

That sounds correct, Scot. As I recall it was widely rumored at the time, after 25 years, HK was ending P7 production and many assumed the 25 Jubilee edition was the last run (myself included). Not long after, HK released another last run the "Final 500 Edition".

The Jubilee edition were manufactured in 2005, to celebrate the 25th year of production.
The final 500 edition were manufactured in 2007. Amusingly there were some pistols made and sold in 2008.
It was believed that those were made from leftover parts.
