Default DWM Unit Marking

I just picked up a nice P08 DWM that has these markings (PB.449.) on the front strap. Anyone have any info on what unit this P08 may have belonged to? Thanks!

Bob, makes me think police, but pictures would help, serial number, any date, markings on the left or right....

Believe Ed is correct and clearly pictures will help.

Unit marking of "PB.449." sounds like Bonn police school, waffen number 499. Source is German Small Arms Markings by Gortz and Bryans, pp. 103.

Thanks for the help...I don't have it in front of me, but the serial is 761 h, with no date on the chamber. I thought that was weird, but I got it at a fire-sale price, so I'm not complaining. All parts are matching, except the mag.
