Your Luger is a 1921 Reichswehr Army contract DWM Luger that was repaired or reworked in the 1930's by Simson's, judging from the additional stamps in front and to the rear of the original proofs. Eagle Hr 29 is stated to be a Heeres Reichwehr office 29 acceptance. The front Eagle is a mid 30s waffenamt. Both of these marks are said to be found on Simson reworked Lugers.

This the first 1921 that I have seen these markings on.
