This semi-automatic pistol design allows the interchangeable barrels/receiver either 9mm Kurz or 7.65mm which probably creates some confusion as to caliber, some references state [[.32 ACP]] (7.65 mm). Letter from the Museum in Vienna states emphatically that the caliber of the assassination weapon was [[9mm Kurz]].
