1914/1920 Luger marked S.L. Pol. 1892 on grip strap

Hello,

First off, I'm new to the site. I spent a few hours today looking at some of the posts and galleries and made my first post inquiry yesterday. I think I'm hooked!

A little about my new-to-me Luger I bought about a week ago. It is a shooter grade non-import original finish "1914" Luger. It has "1920" right below the "1914." It is half matching. It has had the toggle assembly replaced with a WW2 42 toggle assembly. The toggle assembly is in excellent condition and is matching numbers "45," hence my reference to this pistol as a shooter. I shot it right after I bought it and it shoots fine.

Now for the part I need help with...
The grip strap is marked S.L. POL. 1892. What does this mean? POL? Is that Police or Polezei?

Any help is appreciated,
Cincylance

PS - How many barrel lengths were available for the 1914?
