I am fine with leaving it as is. I just want to know more about it.

So this is what I'm starting to figure out with this forums help. It was made by DWM in 1929 for the Rif conflict but was not delivered. Ended up being issued to the Landjägerei. The mag safety was added around 1933 by a police armorer and then removed in 1937. And now it has made it all these years with its matching issue rig into my possession. Incredible!

Feel free to correct me. I am ok with being wrong, either way this is a beautiful pistol and I am fortunate to now own it.

Here are two sites I've used to find info.

Glad I was introduced to this forum. So much good stuff on here!
