I inherited my grandfather's Luger, and it was identified as a Banner Army Model.

As these matching police magazines were prepared by police armories, it is suggested that the final destination of these Lugers was the German Police.

See pages 140, 142, and 143 of Third Reich Lugers for additional information. However, some of this information may be dated because these are most likley police Lugers.

Wish I could.

Any source for a reasonably-priced copy of your book?

Is the ejector strawed or perhaps just a miscolored salt blue color, some are plumb colored, from salt bluing a hardened part? It might be a replacement, but no biggie as this part broke sometimes (I have broke one before firing a Luger) and they not numbered to the guns.
