Steve,
I agree with Don that the "PB." marking seems to be the last Weimar Republic / NS Zeit period one for the Polizeischule Bonn. I can't make out the other cancelled marks either.
The intact "S IV *" markings are unknown postwar Volkspolizei markings that seem to sometimes appear on these VOPO lugers. An interesting set of markings showing long police use and re-issue.
