dirtmover,

You are correct that the marking is from the S�¤chsiche Polizei Leipzig, the state police in Leipzig. I know of no records of individual Saxon weapons.

It's uncommon that one of these does not have an earlier canceled S.L.Pol. grip strap marking. Perhaps the one on yours was ground off. Is the pistol a DWM and does it have a sear safety?
