Military or Police?

Welcome to you and your son!

Try doing a search on "police" on the above search link and many items will come up. Buy a couple of books, Weimar Lugers by Jan Still covers the time frame of your gun. That is a period I am interested in, as I am also very interested in the police variations. During the 1930's, "police" guns were given a sear safety and / or a magazine safety and this is the main way that people can tell if it is a police gun. Some are police marked and of course this is another give-away. Further if they are from the above, they would have police acceptance stamps (a small stamp like some of the other stamps found on the gun).

I enjoy the wildness of the Weimar period, as you never know what you might come across!
