Weird Police Luger

Long Story. My grandfather has a Luger that he got in WWII which he has used to introduce me to handguns. A man at the range, who seemed quite knowlegable about Lugers, told us that it was a police Luger of the East African police force. How an Oberst in the Wermacht got his hands on it is a mystery. Anyway, all the parts match, and the kind man was able to tell us it was made by DWM-this makes sense, as the Waffenmant on the side is W2A66, making it a 1929 DWM made gun. Now the weird part- It has no markings on the hump area atop the gun above the trigger. It should have a DWM logo there, right? Nothing has been ground off, and everything on the gun is original and matching. Pics soon. Who makes good ammo for a luger? Is the Wolf stuff ok?
