Railroad/police 1908?

All,
Actually there was a Reichsbahn Polezi and they were responsible for security of the Reichsbahn property and equipment. These would have been the guys checking the papers on the train in The Great Escape. The authenticity of this piece is a curious question; I have seen RBD marked Walthers, but never a P-08. The Walthers had the grip strap marked, IIRC.
