This is a quote from a previous posting on another forum;
</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">S.Hn.11. signifies: Schutzpolizei Hn. weapon no. 11. The Hn is not on the Prussian State Police district list. H signifies Hannover and Hi signifies Hildesheim.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">No one was sure what it meant, to include Jan Still, so I took that as a reliable source of not knowing what Hn stood for. In my database of a few guns, I know of two other guns that have Hn, but I am unsure of what it actually means, although Hannovor is as good a guess as anything.
