That is what I thought... there were several "Police units" shortly after the Great War which have had more military character than Police and were disbanded by the IMKK like the PwB and all the others (in German we would say: Nicht bei allem wo Polizei draufstand war auch Polizei drin). That is a part of my first objection to the 1920 stamp on "Police" Lugers.
There is a good book about this time and the problems of the Germans with the IMKK. I got it from the late Joachim Goertz and it was basic for several discussions. I always see the Luger history with the time history and hope my poor English can be understand.
Don thanks for the reply and best regards from Germany
