Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
During World War I, the Imperial German Army contracted with Mauser for 150,000 C96 pistols chambered in 9mm Parabellum to offset the slow production of the standard-issue Luger P08 pistol. They use the same clip-loaded internal box magazines as the 7.63mm Mauser and also hold ten rounds. This variant of the C96 was named the "Red 9" after a large number 9 burned into the grip panels and painted in red. (This was done to warn the pistols' users not to incorrectly load them with 7.63 mm ammunition.) Because the army delegated the branding to unit armourers, not all 9 mm pistols carry the nine. Of the 150,000 pistols commissioned, approximately 137,000 were delivered before the war ended. Original 9 mm pistols can be told from 7.63 mm-to-9 mm conversions because they have 9 mm-rated sights (marked "50 m-500 m") rather than 7.63 mm-rated sights (marked "50 m-800 m").
