Karl:
I'm new at this Luger stuff, but I can tell you the Starburst you have on your mag is the same as the one on my rear toggle link and on my take down tool.

Ed, can you tell me or recommend a book that might tell me, how my 1918 DWM Luger went from WWI, to the police and in 1944 ended up on a dead German bomber pilot where my friend got it and brought it home in 1945?
I know there is no way to have the exact dates but just some rough idea is close enough.

Did the police, when the war started, just bring their side arms with them, or somthing like that?
