Yes and also yes.
My weimar police was thrown in my lap by my friend Pete, a nice addition to my collection.
There were both 9mm and 7.65mm used in the police, I am unsure about military, I belive the answer is no.
The 7.65 mm was put on some weapons that (from what I understand), were IN inventory and they did not want them to confuse any of the folks using them, as 9mm was much more common on larger weapons. There were also 32 ACP used, but those guns were much smaller, so less likely to confuse personnel.
Then, at some point the police decided to change it over to 9mm, but since it had been marked 7.65, then it had to be x'd out.
Reno was great, I hear there is a good show in Chattanooga, how far is that for you? My work has an office in Chattanooga and who knows?
