I once owed a 1916 Erfurt with a similar "winged wheel" branded into the matching left grip. This was 30 years ago, so if we can assume that at least some of these are original, it would appear that the RB Police used whatever variation came their way and branded it. This was during the Weimar period when strange things happened, but I wouldn't consider it any stranger or rarer than the "EWB" branded Freicorp guns. TH
