What does this unit marking mean??

Just bought another unit-marked Mauser C96/1916 in 9mm.

It has a full length barrel, 1920-stamp, #82024 and unit-marking "S.L.Pol.4964".

What does this unit-marking mean??

Here are two pictures:

Jan Still has identified this (his best guess) as "Schutspolizei Luneburg weapon 4964" and has referenced Gortz pg 93. If there is any additional information I would like to hear it. Thanks....Tom hope all is well with your sons!

i have no idea, what could be the meaning, but "schutzpolizei lÃ?Â¼neburg" is surely wrong:

1)
would mean, that the name of the town is betweet "schutz" and "polizei".
this is not used in german this way

2)
lÃ?Â¼neburg is a rather small town/district
citizen in 1933 (town and district) 75000
would mean, that about 6% of this number would be policemen.
