If it is the C/G you are asking about:

The crown/G is only found on some early lugers taken into police use. It is not related to the 1920 marking, but is an inspection or
acceptance mark applied by the police.

It is shown in Police Lugers by Tinker and Gruber and in Jan Still's
Weimar luger; discussion is minimal, and not much is known about the who, where, when, the C/G was applied.
