The grip strap marking is that of the Landjägerei (rural constabulary) of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. This same pistol is discussed on p. 244 of HWIS. To my knowledge, this is the only example of this marking extant. I believe the original marking was Ldj.M.Str.29. and it was renumbered to 1171 following the 1934 merger of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and Mecklenburg-Schwerin to form Mecklenburg (HWIS p.239).
