Ron,

It is very easy to determine if your Luger is 7.65 or 9mm. Take one of the cartridges and fit the bullet end into the end of the bbl. If it is noticibly smaller, your gun is 9mm; if the bullet looks like it would engage the rifling in the bore, it is 7.65. You can also remove the reciever from the gun, remove the toggle assembly from the reciever, and look down the bore from the chamber end. With good lighting, you should be able to see the "shoulder" in the chamber of a 7.65mm barrel.
