Police manual info wanted
 

In the early 1920s the German police published a comprehensive inventory and operation manual of ordinance entitled "Waffentechnisches Unterrichtsbuch Polizeibeamten". In the edition of 1925 both the Pistole Parabellum in 7,65mm and the P08 in 9mm were included in operational use (see "Police Lugers", p. 83). There may have been an edition dated 1928. Do any correspondents here have copies of other editions of this book, and if so, could you please report whether the 7,65mm Parabellum is included?

I am trying to determine when the Parabellum in 7,65mm was phased out of the police inventory.

Thanks very much in advance.

Hi Dwight,

Mine is from 1928 and has the 7,65mm Parabellum included.

Gerben,

I thought you might have something like this, thanks very much.

Dwight
