It started life as an Erfurt and after the war it was either refurbished by DWM receiving a new toggle - nto uncommon. It then went into police service. When it received a new barrel - it was put on by the police as they ordered a ton of barrels from Simson (eagle 33) - this is a common marking and is frequently seen on police 'reworks'.

About 1934 or so, it received a sear safety - it could have been in police service for many years or right before that time, but likely for many years.
