Dow,

M.I. was part of the police unit. S.B.M.I.2.8.108. translates to:

Schutzpolizei Berlin police section (3) Wilmersdorf in Mitte (center) group 8th Centuria (district) weapon #108

Later these units were reorganized and consolidated, so parts of the mark were no longer correct and X'd out.

The 1921 production date and "a" suffixed SN indicate that this was one of the 40,000 1920 and 1921 dated lugers to be procured for police issue.
