Hi Alvin, The British used the C96 too. Winston Churchill, for one, carried a privately purchased C96 during the Boer War. He is famously believed to be the first person to have fired an automatic pistol, when he used his in "the last cavalry charge of the British Army" at the battle of Omdurman in 1898. Regards, Norm
