Karl, drbuster has the marking id nailed! The lack of a sear safety means the pistol was issued to a barracked Schupo Bereitschaft (younger reserve police, sort of like a SWAT Team). These police were taken into the military in 1934-36 and their Lugers were excepted from the 1933 order to add sear and mag safeties to police Lugers.
