Tom,

These were probably meant for commemoratives that were exported to countries where the
9x19 para was prohibited as it was considered to be a 'military cartridge'.

Nice find. These are rare indeed.

Italy, Malta, Mexico? Several countries do not allow 9mm Pistols for private use

I live in Malta and we allowed to shoot 9x19mm, it is the most popular caliber in Malta.

How about 45 ACP? Were 9x19 banned maybe a few yaers ago? Maybe It was Cyprus.

I've read an article in a gun magazine a few years ago about the "military calibre" ban in some countries, maybe in the late 80s or early 90s, I can't remember
