Small calibre
 
Here 2 calibre reduction kits for the Swiss Parabellum I own.

4mm. Uses primers to shoot a 4mm lead ball

6mm. fits 22lr, but haven't tried to shoot yet.

in that case, must be .22LR center fire - quite a rare cartridge

No, standard rim fire.

The dummy cartridge case transform the centre hit to a rim one.

Very intersting solution - must be a rare sub calibre device - I just saw that Görtz and Sturgess show one in the 3rd volume of their Luger book (page1357) - but I never saw one in reality

Most likely 4mm caliber...

Yes, the top one is 4 mm, a lead 4 mm ball propelled by a primer. to shoot at 10 m.
Here is the ammunition and primers for the kit

The second set is 6mm, rim percussion, to shoot at 50 m.
The .22 lr cartridge fits perfectly.
