Mike, Ed has it exactly correct. MeiĆ?en was the location of the Saxon State Police School. I have observed only one other Luger and one Mauser M1914 with this marking. Both probably came from the school. Could you provide me with more details on the pistol: maker, frame serial # & suffix, sear and mag safety? Also, any chance you can take a clearer photo of the marking that I could use in a future publication?

Many thanks for the informative reply
Greetings,
Unfortunately, this Luger is a composite of parts and has been refinished and buffed. However, the frame serial number is visible, but the suffix has been partially removed. I cannot tell who the maker was, as the toggle has been replaced. However, I would suspect it is Erfurt or DWM, as it appears to be an early frame. Hopefully these photos will help in your research.
