Hi folks.
My father fought in France and Germany during WWII and got this pistol from a German soldier. I've been doing some research on the net and have an interesting question.
On one Web site I found info about the 7.65 mm Model 1910, but the photo had a different slightly different grip (it curves in a bit more on the rear of the grip) the the weapon I have. However, the pistol I have is marked 7.65, while the MOD version was listed as a 6.35.
Were the Model 1910 and the MOD 1910 specs somewhat interchangable? I guess I'm asking if the pistol I have here is some sort of fluke, or if the Model MOD 1910 also came in the 7.65 variety.
Also, trying like the dickens to see if I can get this guy apart to check the serials (the slide and the "main part" have idendical serials in the 300,000 range). The weapon is in excellent condition from what I can tell - the clip is a bit scratched up and a LITTLE rusty, but the exterior of the weapon looks almost new.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks folks!
