Really a beautiful rig! The condition is amazing. What a piece of history!

"With the introduction of the Trommelmagazin in 1917 new 9mm round nose fmj ammo was introduced." I believe the round head bullet was developed for another reason as well..the Allies considered the conical shaped bullet to be a DUMDUM and thusly illegal according to the Geneva Convention. If I am not mistaken this was after the war started.
