History of Police Safety Sear Installation

In the cold light of dawn, I should revise my statement about the frame to say it is "probably" a 29DWM. It could be an Imperial-era frame but I lean toward the 29DWM because of the prevalence of them among Landjägerei Lugers. The unit marking definitely was stamped after bluing because it has a halo.

The history of the Landjägerei, including those of Trier, is addressed in History Writ in Steel. This unit had about 150 men but less than a handful of L.T. markings have been reported.
