police luger

I had an opportunity to visit with my son in laws family this weekend to celebrate the 1st birthday of my grand daughter. While there, his 80 year old grandfather and I were talking and I mentioned that I collected lugers. He said that he had one that he had received from his father and did not know anything about them. He went and got it out of his safe and asked me to have a look. What he had was a 1915/1920 DWM with sear safety added in about 98% pristene condition. He had two wood bottom magazines one commercial style with no numbers and the other police style numbered to the gun. The grip strap was unit police marked (S.P.O. 1. 40) the holster with it had the same unit mark under the flap but a different serial number on the back. The tool in the pouch was unmarked. I would like to let him know what the unit mark meant if somebody would like to respond? Thanks, Curt
