Police Unit Mark Research Results

[Don M]

I want to thank all forum members who have sent me additional data on these marks. As of today, I have added 22 marks to my table. Most of these fall within the expected ranges of weapon numbers but four change some of the conclusions:
* L.P.30. on a 1929 P.08 - This provides a number in the apparent "gap" of numbers from 1 to 200 from Potsdam. I now think these gaps are statistical artifacts.
* L.A.402 on a police bayonet - This extends the range of recorded numbers from Aurich by another 100, bringing their apparent arsenal to four times their manning level!
* L.T.129. on a 1918-dated DWM P.08 - Trier lives!!! This is the first such mark I have seen.
* L.Kg.315. on a late 1930-manuf. Sauer Beh�¶rden with Sunburst K police acceptance.
