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.

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. |

Sounds like your Luger has certainly "been around".

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.

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

Has anybody chimed in on the Unit Marks?
I read "First Machinegun Regiment, 21st. Division or Company" ? A= "Abtailung"? |
