Unit markings on grip frame?

Howdy,

This is my first post here. A coupla days ago, my 88 year old Dad gave me his 1917 DWM Luger that was given to him by a cop friend in the 1950's. It's a great-looking pistol with all matching numbers and a great bore. It's my first and probably only Luger, and has the following marks on the forward side of the grip frame near the bottom:

S.D. VI. 577.

Is this a unit number, and if so, what unit was it? TIA!
