Ed and I discussed this mark previously on that same pistol. IIRC him and Dwight looked at it and concluded it was either an early police or East German marking. That pistol has been sitting for a while, and I think price wise you did fine. Most of the stuff I've bought from OOW has actually been a bit beter than the pictures show. In this case it is hard to tell, because these are older pictures with poor lighting that have been up for a good while. They seem to take much better pictures now.

Now you'll have to find a correct magazine for it. I did ask them some time ago about the grips and if they were numbered to the gun and never received an answer. Again, IIRC, the later grips will have all four digits of the serial number in addition to the E/6 stamp. Will be interesting to see whats up with this one when you receive it.
