Alx... From your discription the Banner sounds just like it should be. I think the hidden placement was something that DWM did with their commercial guns but I believe Mauser numbered all of their guns the same. What changed was the the proof and acceptance stamps or lack of in the case of commercial guns. Police Banners will have an Eagle C, F, K, or l on the R/H side.
You might want to consider buying the new book THE MAUSER PARABELLUM.
