Take it out in some better light, maybe natural and in the shade, and snap some photos at all angles

Thanks guys. especially Don. That info is a big help.
I would assume the maker is DWM but then again I have been wrong about this pistol at every turn. I have a lot of respect for you Luger collectors. Some of these things are difficult to identify. P38's, 1911A1's, those are easy compared to a Luger. Glad you guys like it. Keep any and all info or comments coming. I will gladly post any Luger pics you request. |

Hmm, somewhat odd - It looks to be cut for the magazine safety (as well as having the Schiwy sear safety) but there's no hole behind the trigger...
 But the grip has the cut for it...The hole's just not there...

Yes, it was made by DWM, and re-worked/modified/enhanced by the German police when in their "custody". This included adding the sear and magazine safeties in about 1932, likely grooving the firing pin, and numbering the rear toggle axle. The Mag safety was removed about 1935-6.

 Too bad the safety itself is missing. It would be worth sniffing one out...
