Edit Hello LOTHAR/WALTHER made and insert barrel that uses an insert Cartridge. This looks like a floating chamber. This insert barrel and insert cartridges is the only 22 Parts. all other original 9MM parts are used. You can FAX to me tonight and Monday to 919-654-0957 after Monday please fax to 434-977-7784 or pictures to karlwoerner@vatractor.com
I did not get fax at home yet 919 number but will check at work 434 number and work email thanks Karl. send me an email direct so I can do a reply with picture attachments and I will send pictures of my insert type unit.
Edit I received your fax for the most part too dark to see much But from what I could see I agree this is not normal ERMA unit looking forward to seeing some pictures . would be very interested to see front of toggle with how it is made to both fire and extract a rimfire case
Conversion kits were used for any .22 training the Germans or Swiss did with them. Since the weapon is dated '39 with Third Reich proof marks, it was originally a 9mm.
Your mention of the Mauser Banner intrigues me. This would indicate a commercial weapon. Without punctuation, I cannot discern what you are talking about however. The Mauser Banner is the oval football containing "MAUSER". Can you supply a photo of the banner?
