S.B.No.II.?.?. (second from top, right rear) - This mark was applied after the Sicherheitspolizei had been converted to the Schutzpolizei, probably about 1922. It represents the Schutzpolizei of Berlin Polizeigruppe Nord, Abteilung II.
S.D.III.2.100. (outside of cover) - This is from the Schupo of either D�¼sseldorf or Essen in the D�¼sseldorf administrative district. The mark was probably applied in the mid-20s.
S.D.III.416. (lower right rear) - This is from the same location as above. It was applied following issue of revised marking orders in February 1932.
This is one of the most interesting series of markings I have seen. If you can make out the last parts of the the two canceled markings on the rear, I would be very interested in knowing them.

Don,
I will look at the markings later for you and post them if I can read them. I also have a bag of holsters with unit markings... would you like them also? Thank you so much for the information.
