I realize it has been sold but, for what it's worth, if it had been transferred to the Wehrmacht, the sear safety would have probably been removed and if it had ended up in VoPo hands, the sear safety would certainly have been removed. It was not at all uncommon (although apparently not required) for police units to cancel their markings after unit marking was terminated for the police in 1937.
