1920 DWM Berlin Police Luger

Couldn't resist the temptation to take a quick peek at the forums while the grandkids are napping.

Doug,
Thanks for the info on your pistol. I don't have my data handy so don't know if I have that one already. However, I believe the mark is S.B.2029. The intermediate "period" appears to be a ding. It is much less prominant than the others. From the photo, it does not appear that there is any evidence of an earlier mark having been ground off. Is this correct?

Steinar,
Good to hear from you. I believe your post refers to the gun you sent me photos of some months back. It originally was weapon # 69 of the Charlottenburg Revierpolizei (Precinct Police). It and several others like it have convinced me that the Revierpolizei weapons of the Charlottenburg Inspektion were re-numbered beginning with 5151 and probably continuing through 7000, where the weapons of Bereitschaft 1 picked up.
