Actually, the lack of sear and mag safeties indicates the gun was issued to one of the barracked Berlin Schupo Bereitschaften (riot police). Their Lugers were exempted from the order to add the safeties. These units were transferred to the Landespolizei and then to the military in 1934-35. The gun probably saw service in one of the police battalions or the Wehrmacht during WWII.
