On March 17, 1932, the Ministry of the Army published an instruction requiring toggle-pin heads to be stamped with the last two digits of the serial number. On May 20, 1932, the Police Procurement Office of the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior followed suit for its Police weapons, to be carried out by Police armorers. A corresponding instruction for the Prussian police has not been discovered, though the action is likely. (This information from G�¶rtz & Bryans, "German Small Arms Markings", pp.131-132).
