Check out Joe Salters website...1921 Police Luger item #15728 some so-so pics of this marking.

The proofs on this 1921 are somewhat different than your pistol but still has some Weimer doves.. I believe the barrel marking is the same..and the same as mine..you can see the eagle on the side of the toggle train too in Joe's pics.

In your pic..the tops of the wings..and the head are on the right..and the tail and legs are to the left.

Look at the Weimer dove proofs on the right side of your gun...then imagine a smaller version on the barrel. The tops of the wings are a dead givaway.

I bet if you go over to Jan Stills Gunboards forums..Weimer Lugers..and dig around some...Ron Smith had some pics of a 1920 or 1921 DWM that was near identical to mine..only much better shape. My 1920 is probably near identical to your gun

He had some really good pics up of his gun and it's markings..if you can find them.

Hi Stevie
At Joe´s interesting site I only can see a photo of the top-barrel that has a marking like mine, but the photo is not so sharp? I vill search on Jan Still’s (also fantastic!!)board
thanks for your kindly reference
