Default Re: year and ammo for 7.65 Luger?

Tom Heller pointed out to me that the 30 Luger springs were 15 or 16 coils long and the 9s were 19 or 20. The book "Luger Variations" by Harry Jones says 14 turns for a 1906 Eagle 7.65, but it also says 19 turns for a 1920 Commercial 7.65. The spring in Bill Stanleys Eagle was shorter not shortened.
