There are early post-WW2 marking instructions that can explain the presence of large markings like these. The allies agreed to avoid rearming German police officials with captured German equipment, but if there was a need to reuse German equipment it had to be clearly marked as being issued with allied consent.
So this is probably a pistol that was reissued early after WW2, after which it went through the DDR refurbishing program almost a decade later. |
