Very nice!
How would that cartridge extract?
Bob

It was extracted using residual gas pressure. This proved to be unreliable and this catridge was quickly replaced with one that had the now familiar extractor groove. Of course, it meant that the Bergmann pistol also had to be modified, an extractor was added.

IIRC (always a big question) the current Beretta "tip-up" in .25cal and 32ACP does not utilize an extractor. It just relies on gas pressure for extraction. That model has been around a long time. I had one in 32ACP a # of years ago.

Here is a more recent artefact from the DWM stores:

A small ammunition crate, sent out from DWM (IWKA by then) in Grötzingen to the chief of the Ulm proof house. Nicely recycled wood, as the inside of the lid still had a shipping label from Dynamit Nobel in Fürth stuck on.

Photos were taken using a HP Scanjet 3800 flatbed scanner. Nice and very helpful inexpensive research tool that I have owned for quite a few years. This thing scans anything from ammo to pistols and even wooden crates. :jumper:
