Marvin's correct, EWB information is in "Weimar and early Nazi Lugers" by Jan Still, page 109
"The Einwohnerwehr was a paramilitary police force raised by the Reichswehr to allow German citizens to protect themselves from revolutionaries and looters. Small arms issued to such units had an E.W. with a letter signifying the state or city branded into their grips or stock." In the case of EWB, the B signifies Bavaria. On page 109 is a photo of an artillery Luger with EWB carved into the right grip, and a bayonet with EWB in a grip. Craig |
