1918 DWM Rework-Police
 

Berlin Police Armory rework and marked Landjagerei Trier district. Formerly an Artillery, PTV marked, Simson E/6,E/rc marked barrel, sear safety, deactivated mag safety.Gripstrap marked L.T. 129. I like this one, it says a lot..

lot of history there, Trier is a long ways from Berlin

the Simson barrel I am of the belief that they were bought and then put onto lugers that required them, so they came to the depot or armory as already accepted.

I concur,Added another pic of the underside of barrel.

Steve, I don't know if it is just my old eyes, but is that barrel 'fatter' than other 9mm barrels???

I'm also curious about the artillery notch shown in your 4th pic; does it have a 'step' in the machining??? I don't think I've seen a 'stepped' notch before...

Nice looking police! I keep seeing comments on the police Lugers coming into their own as to collectibility; I'm happy this is so... :thumbup:

I don't think it is any fatter, maybe it is the pic that makes it look so. It does look like there is a step in the notch. I'm not an artillery guy, maybe someone who knows will chime in.
