Your right Mike. I did some research and I'm pretty sure this is an army Luger...It should have a Police acceptance stamp IMO.
The one I'm looking at is #9877N
1939 DATED S/42 CODE ARMY LUGER
Figure 5. S/42 code,1939 dated Luger, serial number 9078n. Left slant view. Note the exposed style of serial number placement and Mauser hump at rear of frame. An Army Luger. Note: the reddish receiver. This was the result of an in balance in the bluing chemicals. The hardened receiver took a more reddish hue.
