To my knowledge there is no evidence that the Schutzpolizei Dusseldorf had an unusally large number of Lugers issued to it. Perhaps you have additional evidence.

The Allied Control Commission pulled out of Germany in 1927/1928. By the late Weimar/Early Nazi time frame it is doubtful that the Germans were trying to hide police pistol issue by cooking the books or faking Luger grip strap markings (Army issue was hidden by the use of date codes). In 1935 Hitler renounced the armament restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles.
