Russell,

Are you sure that it is an S under the SP? There were no cities in Saxony beginning with S that appear to have been large enough for a Schupo unit. Observed abbreviations are L, C, D, M and Zw. I would also not be surprised to see DÃ?Â¶, P or Pl, R, Re or Ri, F, Z or Zi or G. But not S!

Would it be possible for you to post a clear photo of the mark?

Also, what about a period or not between the S and P and whether the front grip strap has been ground?

It seems that you may have the only known (to me) example of a pistol from whatever city it turns out to be!
