Hi,
Add to that the relative ease with which the German army managed to hide vast supplies of guns from the allied control commission during the 1920s. Many LP08's were simply put in storage and were redistributed amongst forces during the 1930s.
If I remember correctly, the Treaty limitations were backed by additional German law that actually prohibited certain calibre/barrel lenght combinations from being used, produced and sold. I think that is where the confusion started.
