I can't think of any reason for it except a unit marking and being a 1900 commercial I think more in the owners side of things, although most people don't own stamp dies?
It is possible that a gun like this was bought by a private company that armed their folks?
US Police marking does not seem right either, as I would expect that to be etched rather than stamped....
