Have acquired a Walther Model 4, 1923 manufacture, with a property number stamp and another stamp on the slide marked "POLITI (seal) Nr. XXXX". By "seal" I mean a small stamped coat of arms, resembling the Norwegian Police insignia. POLITI is Norwegian language for police.

I have been informed that these stamps were added after the war by the Norwegians taking back their police departments from the German occupiers. This also occurred, I am told in Denmark.

I am hopeful someone has more information on these markings. Is there a way to determine what city was involved? Can the property numbers be traced?
