[Schupo]

I have never seen one of these early Berlin Police property stamps (SV, A, F, or B) that was cancelled. I take it from that the pistols remained in the Berlin Police property room and service. At least that would make sense of this fact and go along with the pre-war practice of the Polizei. A neat Volkspolizei variation P.08 that shows long use with the very early S Zone of occupation marking on the grip as well as the later Suhl Volkspolizei Armory reworking with the 1953 barrel and star armorer proofs.
