It also stated that the German army could not issue 9mm pistols. What to do? Take all the Lugars and convert them to 7.65 mm, grind off all military markings, reproof with crown over N mark, rebarrel to 30 Lugar and mark Germany and sell out as export. To pay war debt. You have a popular DWM lugar, German(D) Weapons (W) Manufacture (M) with the right wood bottom mag. The trigger, safety lever, and locking latch are the right color. If it is 9mm then it was probably imported before WWI. Hope this helps a bit.

It's Versailles and Luger. I guess European languages are not your strong point.
Very informative post. I knew there were some funny rules regarding WWI rifles, but I didn't realize there were others applied to handguns.
