According to a 5 April 1922 Directive of the Prussian Minister of the Interior
".....They will receive the symbol for the Schutzpolizei and each kind of weapon will carry a consecutive weapon number."

Of interest is a Luger shown on page v and 153 of Weimar Lugers. Its a 1929 DWM marked L.D.111 (Landjagerei Dusseldorf weapon no. 111) on its front strap.This luger came complete with a Prussian State police bayonet marked L.D.111 and a police holster, tool and two mags marked L.D.111. Apparentally some police units marked associated Luger accessories with the same unit number found on the Luger. Period police photographs show the luger, bayonet and all accessories stored together.
