Erma .22 coversion kit for 9mm P.08

It is very well possible that the postwar Erma SE08/2 was actually designed and tested around the postwar Mauser Parabellum for several obvious reasons:

-They were available.
-Mauser had already played with the idea of doing a .22lr version of the Parabellum.

Mauser actually hoped that Erma would go out of business, so they had access to their equipment, parts and design of the .22lr conversion set. Against expectation, Erma bummed around long enough while avoiding bankruptcy, so Mauser never acquired the Erma tooling.

David,

I've followed your Erma threads with great interest and I'm curious how the conversion kit turns out. Will this be a permanent conversion for this particular pistol then?
