The grip strap marking is a Volkspolizei property stamp for Berlin police with the roman numeral indicationg the district or precinct. Not only did the VOPO use Lugers after the war but they manufactured new barrels and parts for them. In 1963 the DDR actually had the newly named Thalmannwerk take a run at producing new P08's and P38's from scratch. Very, very few of these pistols were made before the project was dropped.
Lugers and P38's remained in police and military service in a number of European countries well into the 1960's.
