"1920 Commercial Lugers were mostly World War One 9mm Lugers, rebarreled to 7.65x21 so they could be resold under the Treaty of Versailles' harsh limits on German production of guns in military calibers."

Also does anyone know where I can purchase a toggle axel pin? And I am pretty sure its 7.65x21. I did the pencil test on the luger and a 9mm and the luger is for sure not a 9mm.

Take with a large GRAIN of salt the 'rebuild' - Treaty of Versailles' and WW1 guns all rebarreled / rebuilds comments you see on the web. They are all true and not true. It simply depends - lots of lugers were rebuilt and sold on the market. Also true that DWM got into trouble for making 9mm - so they made 7.65mm.

This website has an excellent FAQ that Marc Erikson improved upon greatly and keeps up, besides hundreds of 'stickies'. And the search.

You can get a rear toggle pin from Lugerdoc.
