It is a 1908 commercial variation that was put into the police service. It has a sear safety on the left (put onto guns in 1933) and the holster is a nazi era (1941) rural police holster (it is brown, city holsters were generally black). Let me look at the pictures a bit more.

It could have gone into the military, or it could have belonged to a soldier who became a police. Most likely it was in storage or military service and then came into police service at some point.

The 22 conversion is army (well at least not police), and appears to be all matching.
