New police Luger

[Jack Lawman]

Your Bremen pistol is of the "SP." marked variety. Others are marked "S.P."

I don't believe the reason for this is known.

Does your pistol bear the number "251" on the rear of the frame?

Here are two other examples:

Jack, you are correct although I suspect that S.P. may have been initiated by the Sicherheitspolizei and it was later changed to SP. after they were merged to form the Schutzpolizei. Just a guess, however.

Michael, although most of the Bremen Alphabet Commercials are reported as having a canceled 7,65 on the chamber, not all are so reported. The standard approach appears to have been to x-out this number when the gun was reworked, so perhaps yours never had it.
