Inherited 1918 Erfurt with police holster and two mags

[DonVoigt]

Hi and welcome to the luger forum.
You have a late Imperial dated 1918 Erfurt made luger, taken into police service during the Weimar Republic era.
It has an added safety above the sear bar, which is peculiar to police luger pistols and was added about 1932-3. The luger may have been "reworked" at that time and the part that is overstamped renumbered to match when replaced- no way to know for sure- but any needed replacements were commonly re-numbered.

The marking is that of the PolizeiAmt Leipzig, The Roman II is a sub area, and 409 is the weapon number in the police system of Leipzig. This info from the great book by member Don Maus,
History Writ in Steel, pp220-221.

Your holster is also the police pattern, with the "up" strap and no buckle. The one matching magazine is a nice extra, and has the police acceptance of eagle/L - which dates to Third Reich times.

This luger no doubt served through the Weimar era and through WWII.

Good pictures, but a little more light would help, a grey or other darker than white background will help get better exposure..
The holster may have markings on the back and/or inside the top flap, if marked , please show more pictures.
