First Malcolm P. states that there is not a police sear safety, now it could be a police and still lacking a sear safety, rare, but its the first thing to ring a bell, and what really sets it off for me is the stamping. Now Ron I do not begin to know it all, but the few "SD"'s I own, and the many I have looked at, all are same size font, deep cut, and very clean looking, not at all like photos above. The above stampings look very rough, very in the field looking, and looks more like a WW1 then a Weimar stamp, just rough. I have never seen a "4.4" weapons number on an SD. but more in the traditional style like say S.D.V.233 and with perhaps and R X'ed out...I just made up the weapon number...this "centuria" number is something I have never seen on an SD..when I get time I'm going to do some research, check mine, and really welcome any info someone may have to the above SD marking....thanks...BTW saw Still's photo, the stamping are much cleaner then above and none of the "4.4." in question above...stand by and save your Christmas money, going to offer several police Lugers for sale after the first of the year, better get them first before Ed, much rather see them in your collection.
