Eric,

I suspect it was manufactured in 1927-28 but not issued to the police until 1929. I suggest you search "Rif" on this and Jan Still's forum for more about this issue. Both the sear and mag safeties were added in about 1934 and the mag safeties were removed or disabled in 1937. Also, there is much, much more about these pistols and the Landjägerei in my book History Writ in Steel.
