help with police markings / year?

Rob,

This is almost certainly what is known as a 29 DWM manufactured in 1929 and issued to the Prussian Landjägerei. Below the serial number on the front of the frame should be the script letter suffix s, t or u. The gun has been heavily buffed but there are apparent remnants of a WaA66 acceptance. The lack of a DWM logo is consistent with this id.

For my database of police markings, I would appreciate knowing the letter suffix and whether or not the pistol has or had sear and mag safeties. Thanks very much.
