It is Ü.Pl.Ar.3 (not P1) - about Truppen- Übungsplatz Arys ( that was in former German Ostpreußen) Pistole 3, a unit stamp according the 1923 dated stamping order (H.Dv.464) for teh army.
It is a very rare stamp and a nice pistol!

Thank You for your help....so far!!

Need to brush up on my German (a lot)

I have a name of a possible user of this gun, is there a site you would recommend that would assist me? Military records etc.

Also, what sort of value do you think this gun might attract?
