Here is a wild guess on the high numbers encountered for Schutzpolizei Dusseldorf Lugers. I seem to recall that some police units property marked pistols, rifles and maybe some other equipment with property marks without regard to type, so if one encouters a Luger with a number like S.D.178, perhaps S.D.177 was a rifle?
