Postino et al, The Germany Army did purchase 50,000 .30 Cal broom from standard production in 1915 and also contracted for 150K more in 9mmPara (the Red Nine) in 1916, but only about 147K were delivered before the end of WW1. So the broom WAS accepted and used by the German Military, not as their primary issue, but as a suppliment for certain troops, like the Artillery Luger. TH

Here's a nice example of second echelon use. An army gun smith with his C96.

Was that a 9 or 7,63?

9 was not delivered until 1917
