Odds are it's 9mm, though 7.65 mm/.30 Luger is a possibility. Pencil test! A standard pencil will plunk to the bottom of a 9mm bore with no resistance. A .30 Luger barrel will be a snug fit. (Don't use the end with the metal collar.)

9mm--Military, almost all Police, some commercial.

.30 Luger--mostly commercial and contract guns. The Swiss used this caliber from 1900 until the Parabellum was replaced as their standard sidearm.
