Todd,
Your Luger is marked to the Schutzpolizei of the Kassel district. It is marked in accordance with the 1922 directive when the district was spelled Cassel (hence the S.C. marking). In 1933 the regulations changed the marking to Ka. The "II" indicates a battalion sized unit garrisoned in the city of Hanau in the Kassel district. The "1" that comes next indicates a company sized unit, or "Hundertschaft", within that battalion. The last number, "120", is a property or inventory number.
