Tom,

I need to modify what I have said. I have been re-researching the Prussian police schools and their markings and now suspect that P.W. markings with weapon numbers over about 800 (and perhaps lower) are not from the Polizeischule Westfalen. Your original hunch that this marking is from WÃ?Â¼rttemburg may be correct. The marking may stand for Polizei WÃ?Â¼rttemburg. The numbers are much too large for a police school so these may have belonged to the Schupo of WÃ?Â¼rttemburg.
