Thanks.....I have also found that the mag safety is still in full use.

When I saw your post, I thought I was talking to meself

I'm also:
Ed
SSG USA(ret) in 85.

Do you think it was police carried?

Undoubtedly. It has all the features of a police issue pistol.

Thanks, that's what I was hoping for. It will stand nicely between my city and rural police shakos. I also have a JP Saur & Sohn police, a Mauser HSC police and a Walther PP 1940 made swedish contract police in mint condition. Saving now for a Walther PPK police.

I'd like to see close ups, very, very seldom is a mag safety intact.


Ed

I'll try to get some, my Kodak Brownie Box isn't all that great with close-ups..........

:D

SWEET! Good photo's.

From the photo's, nice, it looks like the mag safety has been clipped. Nice luger. Bill

Since I'm a virgin to Lugers, can you point out where it has been clipped? I have an idea but I really don't know since I've never seen an un-clipped mag safety.

BTW, I cowboyed in Stillwater Co for a while..........

I finally came across some photos showing where the mag safety has been clipped and this one has been clipped.

so, I have a 1915 DWM luger w/ army acceptance proofs, assigned to a MG Unit, later was reworked sometime after 1926 for police use adding the sear safety. Sometime after 1933 is was proofed by the nazi regime or the toggle was a nazi proof toggle replacement and given the mag safety also. The mag safety was clip around 1936/37. Am I close?

My mis-match magazine is numbered 818 and my luger ser# is 1011 so if you have mine and I have yours, well, ya never know.

Sounds like your Luger has certainly "been around".

yes, you can also see and read info on the sear and mag safety in the FAQ or by gum in Dwights and my brand new book :)


Ed

I love documented History. Now if I could decypher what MG unit exactly it was in and maybe I can get some research done on the unit.

I might just get that book, this luger has sparked an interest where there wasn't one before..............if I find I'm becoming a Luger addict, I'll need one.

I re-read the thread and missed the part about a "MG" unit. Does it have unit markings?
dju

Yes 1.M.G.21.A.

Sorry, it's too late: more will come!
Nice Luger, with a lot of story.

Douglas

Has anybody chimed in on the Unit Marks?

I read "First Machinegun Regiment, 21st. Division or Company" ?

A= "Abtailung"?

You're the first and alot more close that I was for sure.......Thanks.
