Former artillery police rework

This was a military Luger that was reassigned to the Weimar police. At sometime after WW2 it was buffed and reblued, not by a government agency, but after the GI who "captured" it and took it home. At least whoever performed the "improvement", didn't damage the straw parts. You don't see Weimar police Lugers that have been polished to the point that the numbers and edges are visibly impacted.
There were thousands of good military Lugers kept in inventory in warehouses across Germany from WW1 that were available to be reissued.
