Lyn,
Your pistol looks like a Reichsbahn P.08 to me from what I can see in the photographs. Various railway security services such as the Bahnschutz and Bahnpolizei were issued these weapons that were property marked to the Reichsbahn.
Railway weapons are scarce because these security agencies were small. The rifles are also scarce, just like Einwohnerwehr (Citizen's Militia) marked rifles and pistols.
Here is an example of a Einwohnerwehr Bayern marked Mauser rifle that was later issued to what seems to be an Eisenbahn (railway) unit. The EWB brand is the same as can be found on luger grips in the same manner as yours. Some Mauser carbines will also be found with the same brand marking as on your luger.
I hope this is helpful.
