eBay is your best bet.

Manuals, scrapers and brushes and such are all listed for sale on eBay or elsewhere. A box is a different matter. The prices on eBay reflect the difference in what a P7M13 goes for with those items vs. without.
 
I have a manual, scraper and brush. There are five variations of the P7M13 box. The first one was a black cardboard box that came with the IE date code pistols. The second is a dark gray box that came with the IF and IG pistols. The next box Is a black plastic box that says “W Germany” under the Heckler and Koch. Next is the black plastic box that says “Fed republic of Germany“ or something like that. Last is the black plastic box that says Heckler & Koch Oberndrorf Germany. Which variation are you looking for?
 
I saw post #2, but could not figure out how you knew that from the limited information from the original post. A 1986 P7 M13 would have come in the dark Gray box. I will have to go look through my stash and see what I have.

At what point did they switch to a plastic box? If I understand this correctly they initially used the smaller P7 box, then to a larger one, then at the last to a second variation of the larger one?

Just looked through my stash and I don’t have any spares. Here is a picture showing the difference between the first year (1984) cardboard box (bottom box) and the (1985-1986) dark gray box (top).

In 1987 (IH), but that was for the P7M8s not the the P7M13s. The P7M8s started out in the smaller plastic boxes and then went to the larger plastic boxes in 1987.

The data shows otherwise--- black plastic boxes, with the last 5 digits (17-XXXXX) of the serial number (in white) on the right front end. ;)

The P7M8s went into production in 1983 and were originally shipped in the smaller plastic P7 box. The P7M13s went into production in 1984 and were originally shipped in cardboard boxes because they would not fit in the smaller plastic P7 boxes. HK made a new larger universal box for the P7 series in 1987. This new box was what the P7K3s, P7M8s and P7M13s were then shipped in. The change with boxes was at the same time when HK went from standard serial numbers to the new prefix then dash serials. 15- for P7s (PSP), 16- for P7M8s, 17- for P7M13s, later on in 1992, 021- for the P7M10 and then 18- for the P7K3s in 1994.
