The Landjägerei had a very high percentage of 29 DWMs although many other Prussian police units had some as well. The data tables in HWIS demonstrate this.

Jags, i myself think you maybe very correct in your assumption. The picture of my 1929 dwm police , most concure on here it was a new gun when issued to the Landicejer police. Others on the forum may have ideas on this matter. Hope to see some pictures of your new purchase and welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the great comments! This is my first Luger, and I know it doesn't match, but I bought it as a Shooter and to fill out my Indiana Jones handgun collection. So I'm looking forward to it!

Yes Don. Were there any specific Landjägerei units in which the data shows them only having the new 1929 issues 100%? If so this would support my theory that the new 1929's where issued to a few units first before the reworked guns got thrown into the mix.

Any one else with any thoughts regarding this?
