I would also like to see photos of the magazine. It is interesting that a full sized Luger could feed, fire and function with a round that is almost 20% shorter than either a 9mm or 7.65mm round. Overall length (OAL) of the cartridge is one of the critical factors in proper functioning of a Luger. Even one or two millimeters off in OAL frequently contributes to "stovepipes" or failure to feed.

The only .32 ACP Luger that is documented is the diminutive "Baby" Luger that was constructed by head engineer Heinrich Hoffmann at BKIW in 1925/26 under the supervision of Herr August Weiss.
