Do you think it was police carried?

alanint · 12-05-2012, 06:27 AM

Undoubtedly. It has all the features of a police issue pistol.

Thanks, that's what I was hoping for. It will stand nicely between my city and rural police shakos. I also have a JP Saur & Sohn police, a Mauser HSC police and a Walther PP 1940 made swedish contract police in mint condition. Saving now for a Walther PPK police.

I'd like to see close ups, very, very seldom is a mag safety intact.

SWEET! Good photo's.

From the photo's, nice, it looks like the mag safety has been clipped. Nice luger. Bill

Since I'm a virgin to Lugers, can you point out where it has been clipped? I have an idea but I really don't know since I've never seen an un-clipped mag safety.

BTW, I cowboyed in Stillwater Co for a while..........

NoncomRetired · 12-05-2012, 04:58 PM

I finally came across some photos showing where the mag safety has been clipped and this one has been clipped.

so, I have a 1915 DWM luger w/ army acceptance proofs, assigned to a MG Unit, later was reworked sometime after 1926 for police use adding the sear safety. Sometime after 1933 is was proofed by the nazi regime or the toggle was a nazi proof toggle replacement and given the mag safety also. The mag safety was clip around 1936/37. Am I close?

My mis-match magazine is numbered 818 and my luger ser# is 1011 so if you have mine and I have yours, well, ya never know.

DavidJayUden · 12-05-2012, 09:35 PM

Sounds like your Luger has certainly "been around".

Edward Tinker · 12-05-2012, 09:40 PM

yes, you can also see and read info on the sear and mag safety in the FAQ or by gum in Dwights and my brand new book

I love documented History. Now if I could decypher what MG unit exactly it was in and maybe I can get some research done on the unit.

I might just get that book, this luger has sparked an interest where there wasn't one before..............if I find I'm becoming a Luger addict, I'll need one.

DavidJayUden · 12-05-2012, 11:18 PM

I re-read the thread and missed the part about a "MG" unit. Does it have unit markings?

Sorry, it's too late: more will come!
Nice Luger, with a lot of story.

Has anybody chimed in on the Unit Marks?

I read "First Machinegun Regiment, 21st. Division or Company" ?

A= "Abtailung"?
