John, Very nice looking pistol but it is not a Police per se. it was born an Army and accepted as an Army. It shouldn't have any police markings except perhaps on a replacement aluminum Police magazine. If these Army examples conscripted into Police usage indicated by the sear safety bar have any police markings, I am not aware of them. But even with some sort of Police proof..that isn't worth any kind pf premium to me.

By the bar over the sideplate..we know it was used by the Police at some time somewhere. As a straight Army in this condition it would be more valuable than as a Police IMO. Police in most configurations like this are not as desirable as an Army. I don't know why, that's just what I see.

The mag is improper & broken. Is it the only one?

Too there are other considerations, is it ALL matching? Bore condition?

Personally $1,500 would be top of the mark for me. $4,500 will buy you a WHOLE LOT of Luger..and this ain't a WHOLE LOT of Luger worth $4,500. Although the condition from the pics is dang nice.
