The Anchor/M marking is Reichsmarine. Th Nordsee property number is Reichsmarine in all likelihood but was carried over into the Third Reich period and used on all Wilhelmshaven marked Third Reich pistols that were Nordsee marked. Third Reich Ostsee marked pistols that I have observed were all marked on the front grip strap. I have never seen an Ostsee marked Reichsmarine pistol.
