Hi,

Here is a picture of a blank chamber, DWM toggle marked, Police Luger with serial number 8662 R. It has a 1935 dated police holster numbered on the back with S.M. 740, which is the property number on the front grip strap. It has two wood magazines with it, with 740 on one and 740 and 1 on the other. Kind of odd that they did not use the serial number of the gun for the magazine numbers. This is not a very good picture of the proof on the right receiver, but it is an Eagle, then GL, and then 6. The left side proofs are also odd in that they are like a really deep struck Simson Test Eagle -- looks like a eagle inside of a square box. I'm pretty sure that these are Simson proofs on both sides of the gun, but have never heard of anything like this on the right side. Have any of you?
