Interesting gun. Obviously a police gun that used to have a sear safety and magazine safety. I note the unusual front sight (looks very low profile). Take down lever not original but looks expertly made (damage to side plate, etc. suggests how original might have been broken). Coloring of barrel suggests it might be a replacement. Can't tell from first photo: is it a navy magazine or aftermarket?
Although Dwights survey was inconclusive the 1920 property mark and police mods seem to be typical.
