Olle, I'm not sure this pistol should have a serial numbered toggle pin. The 1932 instructions to mark these pins were issued to units of the Weimar German Republic (Reichswehr, Bavarian state police, etc.) (Small Arms Markings, pp. 131-2). From 1923 to 1939, Danzig was a Free City under the protection of the League of Nations (HWIS pp. 298-9). While Danzig had strong German ties, the extant orders would not have applied to its Schupo. Your un-numbered pin is probably the original.
