Grip markings on my 1917 DWM Weimar Police

Andrew, The fancy Franktur "S" inside your left grip does indicate inspection at Mauser, probably around 1934 and the asterix mark indicate it was made as a replacement spare. The E/6 inside your right grip, is that of an inspector at Simson during the Weimar period. It's hard to see all of the serials in your photo, but a #99 safety bar isn't correct in a frame serial ending in 77. If your frame, receiver, barrel & toggle assy match, I may be of assistance helping match the small parts.
