<strong>Gentlemen,
Thanks for the info on the Luger. But I made a huge mistake. I gave you the wrong serial no. The correct number is 75540. This makes it a whole new ballgame. Sorry it was late and I typed a 9 instead of a 7! Comments please.

Carl, it's not only a new ballgame but it appears you've hit a home run! According to Jan Still, serial number 75,441 was the approximate beginning of the Basil police pistols. Yours would be about the 100th one made. Everything else you report about the pistol is correct.... congratulations on a nice find.
