Lugers With Ground-off Stock Lugs Data Request

[Don M]

Since becoming interested in Lugers and German police markings, I have learned from various sources that some Lugers were "butchered" by grinding off their stock lugs to prevent their being used with shoulder stocks contrary to U.S. firearms laws. While I do not have a basis for disputing this, I am researching an hypothesis that at least some of these may have had this surgery upon their delivery to German police in regions occupied by the French following WWI. The French occupied the southern Rhineland until January 1930 and may have required this modification for some of the Lugers used by the German police in these areas. Specific examples are 29 DWM Lugers with u and v suffixes that are marked H.P. on the grip straps and two Lugers from the occupied city of Wiesbaden marked S.W.II.

To test this hypothesis, I would appreciate learning of any Lugers, police marked or not, that have had their stock lugs ground off. Data I'm interested in include:
- Toggle logo and chamber date / property stamp, if any
- Serial number with suffix, if any
- Grip strap marking or evidence of removal, if any
- Sear and mag safeties or evidence of removal, if any
- Photo of ground lug area, if possible
- Confirmation, if available, of the grinding having been done in the U.S.

Thanks in advance for your help.
