To give a straightforward answer, The Mauser banner on the toggle in conjunction with the 1939 date, plus the sear safety, (the little flat spring over the top of the sideplate), plus the "Eagle L" proof on the right of the receiver. All that together makes it a police issue gun. I would note that the magazine appears incorrect for that particular gun, at first glance.

Thanks again. What would the correct magazine look like? I think he has a couple other Lugers so it may have been swapped out or he may have extras. I will look when I see him again.
Are the the magazines numbered to the pistol?
