Default Info Needed

Well guys, the questions are coming and I need some help. I am talking to a guy with a Weimar Police Luger and I can't find much about it. He says that it is the same as in "World of Lugers, Costanzo, pg. 220". This pistol is supposed to be a Security Service pistol. I thought the S.D.I. stamp was for the Schutzpolizie, Dusseldorf.

I am supposed to call back tomorrow, and help from someone to look up this page in World of Lugers and provide some detail? Darn, one Luger book I don't have!

Edit - I did a little searching and found a posting by my friend Tom A. from 08/04 that the S.D. was for "Schupo Dusseldorf". Tom stated that this was a Security force during the Weimar Era, but they were the standard Municipal Polce. Is this correct?

What this Luger sounds like to me is a standard reworked WWI Luger for the Police in Dusseldorf with no "special" provinance.
