By extension, the Borchardt cartridge was also the basis for the 7.62×25mm Tokarev cartridge, which was developed directly from the Mauser round using an even stronger powder charge.

The 7.62×25mm Tokarev cartridge (designated as the 7.62 × 25 Tokarev by the C.I.P. [5]) is a Soviet rimless bottleneck pistol cartridge widely used in former Soviet states and in China, among other countries.

According to Russian book by Alexender Zhuck (Александр Б. Жук), there is no need to list "mm" if you write the length of the round. Proof: ISBN 5-17-017819-0, pages 757-761 are full of images of gun rounds, where "mm" is ommited, if round legth is added. So, I vote for removing the "mm".

This was an interim solution until deliveries of the new Glock 17 (pistol m/88) were complete.
