Joseph,
I'll let others comment on the gun itself but I agree with George that it probably left police service. In fact, it may have been in police service only a few years in the Sicherheitspolizei, the forerunner of the Schutzpolizei that was disbanded in October 1920 (officially!). The reason I say this is that the canceled marking which appears to be S.Mo.II. 48. does not conform to any known Schupo marking.
Thanks for posting this. I'll have to ponder what it might mean.
