ejsxs:

Thanks for the effort and I'll read the DGJ ref. I hope within my lifetime that some is able to compose such a list based on the work of Mr. Apel at GGCA( http://www.germanguns.com ), Jim Cate and whoever found the Sauer serial number lists and the Museum in Suhl.


For now I would assume that Jani's 6.5X52R may be a pre-standardization example if prior to 1920. If undated, it may date to pre-WWI and the 6.2mm would be akin to the previous bore stamp lower in diameter than the 172,28, 181,00 or 184,11. For now I don't know if 6.2/6.5mm had a decimal equiv. that was used.


Kind Regards,

Raimey
