tac,thanks for the quick response.

There is nothing struck out on the barrel or receiver.

I only have the two suffix charts on the LugerForum to compare with. I suppose it could be an "a" but this interpretation would have the same problem as "g"....namely, that the suffixes for commercial DWM production during the 1920s started with "i". Of course, if it's not a Wiemar commercial model....

The "expert" I consulted at a local collectors' gun shop went to the back room to consult a reference and emerged with the pronouncement that "P.M." means the Police School in Muenster. He seemed to know what he was talking about but I can't confirm it.
