There are a number of "Lugers" out there in 7.65 Para, but those are P06 of the Swiss army. I've not heard of 7.65 used in German P08. Reworks after WWI was done to shorten 6" Navy and 8" Artillery versions down the the legal 4" barrel length, since the Versailles treaty forbade submachine guns, including all long barreled semi-autos. Most of the reworks show a second year stamp indicating the date of conversion.
German police used 7.65 Browning (32 ACP), not 7.65 Para.

As I get older I find hitting a mini ram at 200 yards with the 22 oddly more satisfying.
