After staring at the marking for a while, I'm going out on a limb to guess that the middle x'd out characters were part of an Imperial military marking. After WWI, this marking was partially ground off and the remainder x'd out when the pistol was reissued to the Wuerttembergisches Polizeiwehr and marked P.W.871. This latter marking was probably canceled by the Russians.
Michael, may we know the serial number and suffix of this pistol?

Jamese has two pics in one of his albums which bear resemblance to the guesstimated Imperial marking...Not the same character, but it is cursive...
