Don Need Help

[Edward Tinker]

From Jan Still's forum and speaking for Don M;

quote from Don;

The gripstrap mark is an early 1920s Schutzpolizei mark for Bereitschaft (Hundertschaft) 6 of a city represented by the Roman numeral II in the Prussian governmental district of Hannover. The abbreviation for Hannover was later shortened to "H." There are several of these guns with "Hn." on the gripstrap and "H." on the spine of matching magazines.

So yours is Schutzpolizei Hannover weapon #205

Your magazine is a police magazine, but a replacement (hence the S/42).
