Hi John, Welcome to the forum. The markings are Prussian police unit markings.

S= SchÃ?Â¼tzenpolitzei (Municipal or Protective Police)
D= DÃ?Â¼sseldorf (City)
III= Command 3 (Precinct)
448= Weapon number

Does it have a sear safety? A small flat doglegged bar riveted to the top lift side of the receiver, that presses down on the top of the side plate?

Is there a small notch at the top leading edge of the left grip, or a 1/4" hole drilled in the frame behind the side plate? If so, this is a provision for a magazine safety.

These additional safeties were mandated by police orders. To keep the flatfeet from shooting each other by accident, while playing quickdraw in the squadroom. Can you post photos?
