The excellent photographs and presentations were by Heinz and cpw.
On page 128 of that book you state "few Berlin police Lugers survive . . ."
The Berlin Police had by far more Lugers than any other German police force. As I recall the property numbers reach over 12000. In the last days of World War II, they along with the Hitler Youth were called on to battle the Russians as Hitler made his last stand in Berlin. I suspect that most were taken by the Russians. When Weimar Lugers published in 1993 few Berlin police Lugers had been reported. However, with the recent import of Russian Lugers a number more have been reported.
