Hi,

H.P. as Hessische Polizeischule makes sense and perhaps the people from the Hessian Policeschool archives may provide additional material.

An additional option for the H.P. mark is 'Hilfspolizei', the name given to groups of SS and SA men who were added to the police organization after a 1933 decree by Goering. They remained in service as 'additional police forces' until a reorganization in 1936.

It would make sense to arm these hilfspolizei or 'police helpers' with used/refurbished/reworked weapons from NSDAP party possession.
