It means it was weapon #1008 of the Sächsische Landessicherheits-Polizei, the Saxon State Security Police (equivalent of the Prussian Sicherheitspolizei) that was founded in 1919 and merged into the Sächsische Polizei (equivalent of the Prussian Schutzpolizei) in 1921-22 (HWIS pp. 211-12). May I know what this mark is on with a description of the item?

Don, Thanks a bunch. The marking is on a 1896 C96 broomhandle mauser. I'll try to add some photos here if I can figure it out. Please let me know if you can access the photos.
Again, thanks

Don,
My other pics did not work. The pistol is for sale. I have someone interested but no commitment. If you have further interest, send me your email and I can do photos that way.
Thanks and regards.
