Darned if I can find a reference and "old-timers" syndrome clouds my recollection, but it seems to me I have seen somewhere that since the Berlin police districts were the largest in existance, they had separate divisions for Ost(East) and West that were then broken out by districts. So your Luger might be for the Schutzpolizei Berlin, West Division, District III, 1st Precinct, Weapon 76? Just a WAG on what I vaguely remember. I'm probably way off base.
