This is an interesting find that I came across. A friend of mine received an e-mail and was told about a Luger, in the discussion he found out that it more than likely was a Weimar Police and he kindly put me in touch with him. Then I "tried" to give him some advice, and he offered me the Luger.

It is a 1921 DWM Commercial, there are several things about it that make me wonder, but it was seemingly "untouched" when I got it. Bore was full of years of grime and the grips had spots of rust under them, although with some freckling and spots of rust that cleaned up nicely.
I gave the gentlemen advice and a value, he asked me if I wanted it for that price (at the time I think I said $850), I said I would love to have it, but was fairly broke and could only afford $450, shipped. He said, sold! I was dumbfounded, and then received it and was surprsied to see that it had a police marking on it!
