Unit Markings On A Dwm 1917

Robert,

The grip strap mark is for the Schutzpolizei (municipal police) of the Frankfurt am Oder district of the Prussian province of Brandenburg, weapon number 46.

I would be very interested in knowing the toggle logo, serial number and presence/absence of sear or mag safeties for this pistol to add to my database of police unit marks. Also, is there any evidence of an earlier mark that may have been ground off, x'd or lined out?
