One question to Don : Is any Luger having the Schiwy Safety ( or having two holes on the ledge of the the reveiver, above the trigger-bar ) a "Police Luger " ? even without the 1920 aditionnal marking ?

Any Luger as described (except there would be one hole in the ledge and one in the sear bar) would have been in police service at some point after 1933. However, the Schiwy safety was not installed on all Police Lugers. About 1/3 of those in police service in 1934 were exempted from this modification (HWIS p. 36). These Lugers and their owners were eventually transferred to the military.
