Welcome to the forum, William. You have a very nice example of what is currently called a 29 DWM. It was manufactured in 1929 by BKIW and was among the last Lugers manufactured by them in Berlin before shipping all the production equipment to Mauser in early 1930. Yours is one of the approximately 9,000 issued to the Prussian Landjägerei (rural constabulary) - in this case the Landjägerei of the administrative district of Düsseldorf.

Yours is a very collectable, apparently matching Luger. You may want to think twice about shooting it. If you break a numbered part, you will seriously hurt its value.
