Interesting. A very late British Service version of the Victory, Dec. 1944 or even early January 1945.
It was issued to German police in the occupation era after WW II. The POL LUN is a stamp I have not seen, but my educated guess would be POLIZEI and either LÜNEBURG or LÜNEN, both in the British zone.
It was handed back to the British, because it was surplused out and commercially proofed before 1955 in Birmingham. It was also refinished at some point, and the stocks are not original.
