"PS: There's a slang term for those proofs. What was it? Something like birdy, birdy, vulture?"

Fred,

Doves and Buzzard.

Dave,

It is part of a Police contract for 40,000 1920 and 1921 new production DWM Lugers. No suffix, a and b suffix ranges. Approx. 10,000 more went to the military.

These are often improperly referred to as Weimar "Reworks". They are not reworked, with the exception of the addition of the police safeties. They were newly produced in 1920 and 1921.

Francis,

You must have found the Mother Lode. Isn't this the third you've posted recently. A very nice Police. They aren't often found in this condition.
