Bill,

Thanks for looking this up for me; I was hoping you would do this as I know you are a Police expert. I only have one other Banner Police and it is 1939 pistol, and did not have this mark. I thought at first it was just an inspection stamp, but in Walter's book, "Luger" he states the "St" was for "Stettin"(Terry, thanks for the correction in spelling). If this had been the case, I also wondered why it would have been stamped internally. I guess this will put this question to bed.

I also noticed the witness mark was not there, but the E/N stamp is on the front sight so the barrel is correct. Do you have any other thoughts about this?
