My first Luger!!

Now we're getting somewhere! My thanks to Dwight and Bob for a plethora of information.

It appears from the posts at the referenced URL that there are several "q" block police Lugers around with serial numbers near mine and that a 1927 production date is very likely, confirming the opinion referenced in my original post. The guy at the gun shop is looking better and better.

Can anyone confirm that the "P.M.477." on the front grip strap refers to the Police School in Muenster?

In addition to having a gun very similar to mine, the person who initiated the topic at that URL apparently has a holster that matches mine down to the manufacturer, inspector and date.
