Are G Date 1935 Mauser Lugers made for any bullet caliber other than 9mm

It's possible that a "G" date receiver (kept in inventory for a period of time) was used in a Mauser commercial Luger. If so, some of those were ordered in 7.65mm / .30 Luger.

I have a 1938 receiver that is on a commercial Mauser in the "u" block.

Is there a military concealment code toggle, or commercial Mauser banner toggle on the pistol?

But, if you put 9mm Luger rounds through it, it's a 9mm Luger caliber gun.

John Walter's book on the Luger Story is a good intro. If you want details, get Geoff Sturgess' book.
