First Post – DWM 30 Caliber Luger

[Ron Wood]

My memory is a little foggy on the subject but wasn't there railroad police organization something like Reichs Bahnhof Direktor?

I just read some things about "Stock Lugs", but not sure if that helps anything with my friends' DWM 30 Caliber set. I am uploading additional photos: (1) Front of frame markings; and (2) Two photos of what I believe you guys are calling Stock Lugs. I am not sure if the Stock Lugs (or marks at front of frame) helps to confirm previous answer about our gun being a "mid-1920's Commerical - Alphabet gun". Also, does anyone care to speculate as to how a mid-1920's gun may have been paired with this 1939 Hard Shell holster marked R.A.D. and Stuttgart? Someone has mentioned the letters may be for "Reichs Bahnoff Deutschland" or Railroad Police. As mentioned before, I really appreciate the help with this project. THANKS!

I just noticed another mark on the 30 Caliber DWM Luger set that I missed previously. On the left side of the frame, somewhat superimposed at Serial Number, is another "Crown" and "N". I am not sure if this helps in confirming the 'Mid-1920's Commerical - Alphabet" or not. Additionally, this photo shows the "Round in Chamber" indicator (Geladen) which is why I took the initial photo - I just did not see the Crown and N in that shot before. If anyone needs any additional information or specific photos, please don't hesitate to ask and I will respond. THANKS!
