1920s/30s Pistol Suppressors

[7.62mm.ak47]

I've tried to check into which handguns could be fitted with a silencer from the "gangster era" but I haven't had much luck. I know a Maxim had a few models out but nothing specific. Does anyone know which calibers or handguns could have a can attached? Thanks.

first to come to mind is a 1911, 1920-1930 era handguns that could be suppressed would have you limitted in terms of american made stuff, mostly revolvers and not many of thoose can be suppressed

A Luger perhaps? Or a few of the many, many, early, Brownings and Berettas, I dunno if there's any truth in them for I don't have one, but there are a few suppressed in games in movies

Probably not from the area, but certainly the right time line, you're looking into but the Russian/Soviet Nagant revolver (7.62x38r) can be and was suppressed (I know the Soviets did so and have seen a few original examples). As far as I know, it's one of the few, if not the only revolver that can be suppressed.
