Please Identify my Luger
 

DWM with 1921 chamber date, serial 2313b with all numbers matching including firing pin, all the proper Weimar proofs, unit marked 6.D.10. on front grip strap, no sear safety. Can this be a police pistol without a sear safety? Cannot be cocked with safety on. Minty unmarked grips, 95% blue, very good to excellent bore. Came with a repro mag, but I am not sure what would be a proper mag for it.

Mickey, Proper mag for this 1921 dated Weimar Police luger would be a tin plated tube with a wood bottom numbered without suffix letter but with an added #1,2 or3 above or below the Large serial number. Tom h

No Luger can be cocked (i.e. set the firing pin to fire a round) with the safety on. On early Lugers with the "unrelieved" sear bar, you could not cycle the action with the safty on. After the sear bar was relieved (patent date 1916), if the weapon is loaded and cocked, you can cycle the action to clear the loaded chamber with the safety on.

Mickey, sounds like a Weimar Army Luger to me. 6th Division,10th Regiment??? Army and Police shared some of the same acceptance stamps. If it was not drilled for a sear safety, my guess is an Army Gun, serial range shows some in the "b" block as well. Magazine would have been tin or nickle plated sheet steel body with wood bottom (or later replacements of aluminum bottoms) Thor~~~~~
