Balder,

Rarity is a relative question. Only about 0.5% of the Berlin weapon numbers are listed in my database of nearly 1900 markings. This reflects the fact that Soviet forces captured Berlin in WWII and few weapons are known in the West. On the other hand, there were about 16,000 to begin with so half a percent is still a decent number (80).

In any case, I think you have a very nice example of a Berlin police pistol.
