If you're asking whether you can get the actual record from the archive, the answer is it depends.

Because this is a record from 1929, the 100-year privacy rule applies.

Unless you're a direct descendant of this person and you can prove it with documentation, it's really unlikely that you'll be able to get the document. The same would probably apply if you wrote to the archive and asked for further details that come from the actual record.

Have a look at this link to the Polish government website where this is explained:

Let me know if I've not answered your question and/or whether I can help further.

Btw, the Gesher Galicia reference might say it's in the Przemysl State Archive, but that's just the index book, not the actual record. The records that are less than 100 years old are not in the archives, but are located in the Civil Registry Office for that particular town. The same would apply if you were to apply to them for a copy of the record or for further details. You'd have to be able to prove that you're a direct descendant and you'd need documentation to prove it.
