John, following WWI, the pistol was issued to the State Security Police of Saxony (Sächsische Landessicherheitspolizei). These militarized units were merged with the precinct police in various cities just as the Prussian Sipo was merged to form the Schupo. This gun was then marked by the Sächsische Polizei or Schutzpolizei of Leipzig. Can you tell me the serial number and whether it has/had sear or mag safeties?
