This was an assumption on my part as I have no knowlege of there having been any 9 mm Long barrels made for WW-1.

My Father merely stated that he took the weapon because he could not reload his 1911 Colt 45 magazine and the Luger had a full snail drum attached.

I dont know if the German Officer and his men would have surrendered to a wounded American with only a 45, But he said that they had a healthy respect for him and that snail drum luger.

I only assumed that it was a 7.65 mm.
