Hi,

It's simply the last 2-digits of a former serial number that have been X-ed out. The crown/N on the toggle and the reblueing of the gun, together with the sear safety slot without sear safety points towards an Eastern German DDR 'VoPo' rebuilt pistol, again.

Parts not numbered to the gun were frequently crossed out. These were parts cannibalised from other guns.
