The TP/eagle was the firing proof of the Technische Polizeischule in Berlin. This organization contained the Berlin Police Armory. This proof began to be used in 1935-36 which is the earliest date for the barrel replacement. This is consistent with when the Gemeindepolizei were armed with P08s. This strongly suggests that the rework was done about 1936. By that time, the mag safeties were known to be undesirable so only a sear safety was added during the rework. This may also have been when a holdopen was added.
