Langenhan Selbstlader
Recently I purchased a rusty one of these. I Have a few questions, didn't find much on the internet.
It has "germany" on the left side frame, I take it that this means it was ment for export and not military service?
Is it acurate that these were only produced from 1913-17?
Is it 7.65? (.32 ACP)
Ive got the slide off but can't figure out how to get the bolt portion out.
What are these affectionatly refered to as?
Thanks in advance!

According to my reference there was a post W W 1 model. It had a shorter barrel & grip ( magazine capacity ), then the one the Germans used during war.
Almost 100% certainty that it's chambered for the 7.65 x 17mm ( 32 Auto ).
You have to loosen the screw on the pivoting " bolt retainer ", to get the bolt out. This was the problem on the ones used during W W 1, apparently the screw holding the "bolt retainer" would loosen up, and the bolt would come flying out, imbedding itself in the unfortunate Kraut's head.
