Geladen Missing

And it shoots 30 Luger.
I thought I read that they switched to 9mm in the 1920's.
Is it strange for a gun stamped 1940 to not be chambered for 9?

The receiver/barrel extension is 1940, but most likely the barrel is a surplus 30 Luger item, and does not belong to the receiver as produced by the factory......in other words, another mixed part to this Luger.
