It is an Erfurt lever by the stamp next to the number. Erfurt stamped just about everything...
Definitely reissued to someone under the Weimar regime, that is apparent by the 1920 property mark (NOT a date stamp). Just where within the govt. it went is anybody's guess. It lacks several police safety mods, so that suggests non-police use.
Its value is whatever someone wants to pay for it, but if you want a WAG let's say around $1000. That is more than the collectors here would pay but may be pretty close to gun show pricing. $800 for a quicker sale.
Thanks for sharing, and stick around. You may feel the urge to buy another because no one can own just one.
