The data tables in Chapter 13 of HWIS indicate nearly all of the Landjägerei units had 100% 29DWMs. There are a few exceptions, such as the Trier district. These may have received P08s later from the growing supply of reworked LP08s.
I applaud your interest in learning more about the "big picture" regarding these guns and police units. One of the reasons that I included virtually all of the available data in HWIS was to provide resources for further research by others. Considering your interest, I would encourage you to obtain a copy of HWIS. I believe it will answer many of your questions or provide a starting point for further inquiry.

The parallel thread about reworked Landjägerei LP08s on Jan Still's forum (
http://luger.gunboards.com/showthrea...JÄGEREI-LP08s) generated more responses and led to the discovery that the markings on the rear toggle links were police acceptance stamps (e.g.,
*/D) indicative of replacement by the police armory during the conversion process. I suspect we will find that that is what is stamped on jags' pistol.
