What do I have here?

I'm starting to understand military Lugers a bit better but have now found what I believe to be a commercial/police model. This DWM made pistol has no proof marks other than a crown/N just above the serial number on the left side and what looks to be an Erfurt proof on the barrel. The serial number #4466 has a military placement. It is fully number matched and has no date on the chamber. There is a marking on the gripstrap, P.K.52, which I think may be a police marking. The magazine looks to me like a Simson proofed police mag. Can anyone give me more information about this pistol and identify the unit mark please? As always, your assistance will be much appreciated. Here are some pictures:
