I tend to agree with you, Dieter. The "letter" I mention is actually more of a price list and description than anything else, I believe, but my German isn't up to translating it properly. I would think that obtaining ammunition in 9mm would be a problem for civilians by mid-1941. 7.65mm cartridges should have been easier to find. Just a guess.
