Thanks, guys, for the info. It all makes a lot of sense, and I am familiar with a couple of the conversion kits.

The gist of my question, though, was more to discover if a pre-war (WWI, that is) manufacturer jumped on the bandwagon and devised a pistol to shoot what was, at that time, a very prominent cartridge. From the nature of the replys, maybe not.

Also, according to Ezell (p.470) the 1906 Glisenti was chambered for a 7.65x22 cartridge, but the shoulder was closer to the case mouth than the .30 Luger, and the powder charge was reduced.
