Early eagle ( Sad Sad Sad)

Bill's correct. I don't know of any "wrong ammo" that you could put in this pistol. It was fired with an obstruction for sure... 9x19 will not chamber in this gun. 7.65mm Luger ammo has a shoulder in the chamber that would never let a 9mm round enter far enough to close the toggle.

This gun is restorable, but not worth much in its current condition... maybe a couple of hundred even if it gets parted out BUT ... Stop the rust, a new barrel and a couple of replacement parts and a quick blue job and some homemade strawing it will make a good AE shooter class gun.
