Tom's post got me curious. I looked through my database and found six 29 DWM Lugers with suffixes overstamped with a crown. Here are the results:
*Three original suffixes are definitely t and three are somewhat uncertain but could be t.
*Three have blank toggles and three have DWM logos.
*Two have sear safeties and four do not.
*Five were issued to Prussian police schools (three different schools) and one to the Prussian Landjägerei.
I'm still not sure what to make of this but do find the preponderance of police school Lugers curious.
It needs to be recognized that my database contains only police-marked pistols. If there are overstamped Lugers that do not have police markings, I would not have recorded them.
