John, first of all I can't get your pictures to load, the links take me to MSN and want me to log in. From your descriptions going backwards, your magazine is a 1929-1932 late police proof, the S meaning Sonderpolizei. Your description of the reciever eagles and the "G" on the chamber places that part as a Mauser "G" date Luger of 1935. The box with lines fannning out is probably another eagle. The crown N on the barrel indicates that it is an East German proofmark for the proofhouse at Suhl indicating it was nitro proofed in accordance with the 1950 proof law. Perhaps someone can get into the pictures and give you some more or better advice. My impression is that it is an East German Vopo Luger, I wish I could see the pics though.
