1911 DWM, sn 199f, marked LP / 336 on its back strap. This signifies: Landespolizei Deutsch-Sudwest Afrika. These were issued to the Schutztruppe officers of Deutsch Sud-West-Afrika (see Central Powers Pistols page 279 and 280.

The Landespolizei Deutsch-Sudwest Afrika Lugers consisted of DWM and Erfurt military Lugers dated 1911.

This is a rare treasure that is a part of history. Only a few are reported in the United States, Please post photographs.
