1908 DWM Commercial, serial number 61297, marked R.G.59b: Reichs Gendarmerie Elsass-Lothringen weapon number 59 mounted. This was a special militarized police force under the Imperial German Reich, with headquarters in Strassburg. This police force kept order in German occupied Alsace Lorraine. A close up pf the R.G.59b would be helpful.
I would guess the value at $3000 to $4000 if all matching and in original condition.
If you decide to sell this treasure please let me know.
Thanks
