Municipal Police marking

td; well S.H.184 equals Schutzpolizei, Hannover, gun number 184. I don't want to assume anything, but I take it that you have two matching magazines? If so, then this is a very good zeroing in on Costanzo's and thus Howards assertion that S.Hn. is also Hannover.

Do a search on Jan Stills forum for S.H. and you will see two threads on this subject.

There is a very good chance it started out as a commerical, as the police bought many of them. But, it could very well be a imperial, refurbished for the weimar period. We would need to know if the crown N was upright or "lazy, i.e. on its side.

There is a tutorial under the help area.
