The first marking S.S.P.II.2.13. probably is from the early Sicherheitspolizei of the Schneidemühl district and was applied about 1919-20. The second marking S.S.343. is an updated marking for the Schutzpolizei of the Schneidemühl district in conformance with revised marking instructions issued in 1932. They are not fakes - there's no money in faking police markings. Similar markings are illustrated in Chapter 11 of History Writ in Steel. Be careful in using the web site listed above. It contains numerous errors.

May we know the serial number and suffix of this gun and whether or not is has or had a sear or mag safety?
