help on grip strap markings

[Don M]

Norman,

The cut in the frame above the left grip indicates it once had a mag safety installed, as well. The Landj�¤gerei were very thorough in adding both types of safeties, adding to the probability that this was one of theirs before capture by the Russians. The script L remains an anomaly.

I looked in my database and have only one other Landj�¤gerei Luger from this district, sn 2688u marked L.Op.120. There is no other information available to determine if this one had a script L.

The toggle train has been replaced with what appears to have been from a Prussian Imperial DWM.

I will be writing a book on German police unit markings and would very much like to include a photo of this grip strap mark. If you are willing, I will need to know your last name to credit you unless you wish to remain anonymous. If you prefer not to disclose your last name on the forum, you may email me at the address below. Thanks very much.
