Why would a 1921 DWM have 15.A.R.3.35 stamped on the grip strap?
Is this a police unit mark? Or did they use 1921 as Weimar rework code also? Kenyon makes mention of this.

Thanks! Ron

Ron, I can think of a couple of reasons; It is actually a Weimar Army unit marking for police or army...

The 1921 wasn't a rework code as far as I know, where does Kenyon comment about this?

Ed, Lugers at Random pg 176."DOUBLE DATED DWM AND ERFURT'. He says "receiver dated 1920 or 1921 over original manuf. date of 1910 - 1918."
This is the only clue I could find. I was thinking that it had to be a re-work of an earlier military with unit marks.Or it is a Police marking. The only other thought was a fake. I have not seen the pistol.
