the E/81 is only after the "a" suffix starts and is in a grouping of a police run of lugers; then shortly afterwards, they go back to marking everything as E6 E6 E6 E and never use the E/81 or E/67 again?? (sn 11a - up to 645a)

I can not directly attribute that the E67 or E81 is only a police inspector, as there is a lot of ones without police charecteristics. In this sn range, I have 24 proofs on the right, with 15 as sear and/or magazine safetys {{I have a total of 28 sear declared safetys sn's, but do not have full info on them, and that is JUST in this sn range))

Are there anyways to prove that the rifles were refurbished or made for police? What training unit is it? The S marking is interesting also, as the S is intermixed with the Simson & Co marking, no stopping of the Simson & Co, which would make sense if they had switched to it...
