Welcome to the forum XXXXXXX

Unless it was refurbished and has a replacement barrel from WW2 era, it is hard to tell.

A WW1 era luger that went into police service almost is guaranteed to have been used in both wars, maybe not in battle for WW2, but many police were sent to the 'front' and used, plus some police were militerized.

Or you can find a bring-back that is from WW1 and brought back after WW2, but these certificates can and are faked....

Oops, the name's Pete

. Are there specific markings that indicate police adoption? A 1920 property stamp?
