Municipal Police marking

This is a quote from a previous posting on another forum;

<blockquote>quote:<hr />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.<hr /></blockquote>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.
