George,
Your ID is pretty much on target. The mark is from the Weimar-era Schutzpolizei in the Gumbinnen district of East Prussia. The Roman V represents the location of the garrison. I don't have my reference (my book manuscript) available but the Gumbinnen district had several garrisons in various cities in the early 1920s, most of which were consolidated into one or two garrisons by the mid-20s. This mark was from one of the smaller early garrisons that was later disbanded. This garrison apparently consisted on only one Hundertschaft (company) because there is no Arabic number preceding the weapon number (58.).
Roy,
This is a very nice reworked Red Nine with a rare police marking. Not many of these markings have survived since they are from an area deep within the Russian zone.
