For this Luger to be considered police issue, it would have to have a sear safety attached to it. All police Lugers were equipted with a sear safety. This bar, located on the top of the left frame, prevented an accidental discharge when this weapon was partly disassembled.

There is no way of telling to whom or to what unit a Luger was issued to from its serial number. Police Lugers issued before 1933 are often marked to the city or area, but this practice was discontinued when the police system was nationalized.

Most police Lugers were marked on the toggle with the Mauser logo. Military models have a 42 on the toggle.

If this was a police issue Luger there would be a single police acceptance mark, eagle with the letter C,K,L or F on the right upper frame. Military acceptance and proof marks, eagle 63 or 655 are also on the right side.
