commercial; possibly in 7.65mmP. As commercial pistols, most of the small parts will be marked in the hidden manner with the last 2 digits of the S/N. For example, the takedown lever and the sideplate will be marked on the lower edge.
* Now sometime in the early/mid 30's, our pistols were revised for a rearming of the German Police. One apparent revision is they were rebarrelled by Simson(?). I notice the toggle pin on your example is numbered to your gun. This practice was introduced about March, 1932. The sear safety was introduced to the police pistols in 1933? And finally, I suspect this as my Schambach *L accepted holster, which bears the gun's S/N on the back, is dated 1934.
* Possibly Ed can add to the Simson activities in the early 30's. The other choices for an organized, large scale revision at this time was Mauser or the Police themselves. What do you think Ed?
* One last note: Is your mag matching to this very nicely finished example??
* Trust this helps.

First .. What is a scriptic G ?
second, yest the takedown and sideplate are marked as you thought.
Third, yes the toggle pin is serialized.
Fourth, the Holster is stamped 1939, and has no serial number of the gun that I can see, but has a Nazi proof and i find that odd, and think it is not the original police holster?
Fifth, yes both mags are stamped in the wood with the serial number and also 1-2 to show it had 2 mags to begin with.
And lastly, all this info coming in is great!!
