There's no way to be certain. The quality of workmanship associated with the sear safety modification is entirely consitent with the way these modifications were made. The apparent lack of a 1920 government property stamp, the lack of a police unit marking and the fact that it never had a magazine safety suggest that it was placed in police service in the mid- to late-1930s and issued to the Gemeindepolizei.
