Thanks for the info guys! Why would they have changed a 9mm to a 30 Luger? I thought they only did that with the commercial guns.

Several possibilities (I have a 1913 (?) that is relined..)

1. At the time, 9mm was harder to get than 7.65mm (we think of 9mm as easy to get now, back in that time, it was literally impossible to get in some places)
2. They felt that 7.65mm was more accurate (it originally was a "target" round)
3. It was exported during the weimar era, and 9mm was verbotten
