The arrow indicates the rectangular cut in the top of the sideplate where the sear safety pin would immobilize the sear when active.

Since the gun does not have a rivet hole in the upper receiver where the sear safety would be installed, this could not have been a Police model Luger. Just a Luger with a replaced (non-matching) sideplate. The number on the inside of the sideplate is an indicator that this sideplate was of Mauser manufacture, and they didn't start Luger production until the 1930's.
