New book on police markings

The police used Lugers that were allocated to them by the Reich. The ones they received during WW2 came from Mauser (byf) but they also used DWM and Erfurt from WW1 and pistols manufactured during the 1920's and 30's like Simpson Lugers and Mauser dated Lugers. Police markings refer to police acceptance stamps imprinted into the metal just like the proof marks. Police Lugers were usually equipped with the sear safety and the mag safety (which was later removed).
