Basically they are DWM's in the s,t,u and possibly early v range with commercial proofs, with or without retailer marks, with or without "Germany" stamped frames, hidden serial numbers, etc..
Take a look at Dwight's database and you'll get the picture. My 29 DWM police started out as a commercial but was apparently diverted to the police since it has serial numbers both hidden and exposed. Hope this helps.

Mauser took over production in 1930. These DWM army, police and commercials were the last and I would assume this is how they became known as '29 DWM's rather than their former designation as Mauser 1933 Sneaks. Rather confusing isn't it?
