Ever hear of this one?
Hey ya'll, been sitting around with my ugly dog reading up on guns and stuff (as if I didn't have anything else to do), and this caught my attention. It is in Datig's "The History and Development of Imperial and Soviet Russian Military Small Arms and Ammunition", Volume Thirteen, the Soviet Russian Tokarev "TT" Pistols and Cartridges 1929-1953.In the section on poison bullets for a Russian Pistol Cartridges a description of referenced is made, then the following: "The weight of the bullet is given at 61.7 grains. It is of interest to note that a handfull of 9mm parabellum cartridges employing a very similar bullet were discovered after WWII in the Berlin house of the wartime chief of police in that city. They were in the (Luger Parabellum) magazine of a most unusual, specialty made silenced firearm almost surely made for assasination purposes. The rest is about the bullets. So, if it was a Luger magazine it must have been for a luger. A one of a kind Luger. Just curious.
