Police Luger Unit Mark

Doug, I'm not a good one to ask. I think it is a very neat rig, particularly with the id and book of the vet who brought it back. I would certainly be willing to pay $2000 for it but I'm more interested in the history associated with it. If you are concerned about resale value, I'm afraid the "average collctor" would be turned off by the holster mods and devalue it. Short answer - I don't know. I hope others will offer opinions.

Listmembers,

Just adding my pistol to the discussion. It's a 29DWM blank toggle and chamber, police issue almost identical to the one pictured in the first post. The serial number is "1585 u".The front strap is marked " L. Ar. 220. Is it a coincidence that I'm noticing a few guns from Arnsberg? I fairly sure my holster and take down tool match. I will pull it from storage to confirm.

For clarification, the blank chamber / toggle guns were planned for the Riff contract and were then diverted to police use? So, if I reading it correctly there would be around 2K completely unmarked pistols with the rest produced with DWM marked toggles?

Thanks for a very interesting discussion.

These things come in spurts. One person will post an item and others will think "I have one like it" and post theirs --- just like you did.

Correct!
