The Lugers purchased in 1929-30 to arm the Hessian Schupo in the areas that were occupied by French forces until June 1930 had their stock lugs ground off, either at the factory or immediately upon receipt. This was probably at the insistence of the French. Older Lugers that had been issued to Hessian Schupo in unoccupied areas earlier in the 1920s retained their stock lugs.
