"S.Hn.xxx" is not listed in the Prussian or Bavarian Police marking protocols. The style of marking is Prussian and the closest is "S.H." which indicates the Schutzpolizei of Hannover. Hannover is a possibility but let's see what Don has to say.

It's Hannover. Chapter 9 of HWIS presents convincing evidence that this abbreviation was used prior to the issue of the 1922 marking instructions.
