Thank You Ron, am understanding you correctly,you can change from 7.65 to 9 mm but you can't from 9 mm to 7.65mm. Is it because of the chamber, since the 7.65mm is a bottlneck round? Could it be that this gun was modified during the Weimar Era because of the Treaty of Versailes Pistol Restricions ?
