Tim,

It sounds like your Bolo was re-lined by Federal Ordinance. They marked barrels "9mm Parabellum" when they changed the caliber from 7.63 Mauser to 9 mm. It was also re-finished in the process.

Regards,

I am looking for info on Federal Ordnance. What do you think might be the value of the gun redone in this way?

Dear all:I just bought a C96 that I think is a post-war bolo (commercial) rebarrelled from 7.63 Mauser into 9mm Parabellum. I reserached the serial number and it is period matching. But what I can not find ANY information on is the barrel that has a "9mm Parabellum" inscription on the left side in runic looking letters. Has anyone here ever heard of something like that? Please let me know if you have any info!Thanks!Tim
