This marking is from the Ordnungspolizei of Hamburg. See HWIS Chapter 17. Another 1916/1920 DWM marked P.H.10.39. is listed in Table17-5 of HWIS. This pistol has a Schmidt rather than Schiwy safety. Photos would be helpful to determine if yours also has an extremely rare Schmidt safety.

Are there any other unit markings?

May I know the serial number and suffix of your gun for my database?
