Hi Guys,
Still playing with my new toy, can't get the front end cap off so got some X-Rays done to see condition of can/tube, all looks quite good.
The X-Rays came out nice an clear and can even see the tiny trigger spring, had to do a lsh up to get it on here though. Set the PC screen to white, taped on the films and photographed, Kiwi ingenuity ha ha

Welrod X-Rays
Of all the things I've lost it's my mind I miss the most
Re: Welrod X-Rays
Cool radiograph. To be complete, you need another view at 90 degrees from that one (would require supporting the gun with pads). Edit: sorry, didn't see the second view, ignore me!
I've X-rayed a fair amount of "stuff" in my time and these things are always of interest to me!

Re: Welrod X-Rays
Thank you for posting the X-rays, Enfield. I enjoyed seeing them, and also reading your other threadviewtopic.php?f=10&t=139203 on the topic.
I wasn't aware of these before your thread, and I've enjoyed learning a bit about them. (And sharing in your excitement a bit.)
It's still the weekend where I am, so I'll wish you all a happy one!
Tom.

Revisiting my DOA, Frankford Arsenal Report R-1896, August 1968,
starting on p. 58 was a report of their testing a .32 & 9mm Silenced-Welrod Pistols.
P. 65, Db results Primary initiation -112 db
Blow-by Exit -118 db
Bleed Hole Blow-by -122 db
for 9mm the numbers are 111; 119, 124 db.
Thought you might find these data interesting.
Best.
