Rookie Luger owner (1917 1920 DWM)

The 1920 property stamp is slightly different than said... there was a law that stated guns were to be turned in to the govt, and guns were being turned in for cash, so the govt decided to mark each gun with the 1920. I guess this shows weimar possession... I just interpret it a bit different.

The Luger was at one time police service, but does not have a sear or mag safety, so likely out of police usage by the thirties, but hard to say.

Not sure what a infantry proof is? On a Luger are acceptance markings and then govt proofs. Proofs are the eagle on the far right, on barrel and left of breachblock.
