Then the butt serial has been scrubbed thoroughly, and it’s technically illegal. Since the property stamp could have been there or not, we can’t know anymore.

So the frame, originally made in mid-1944, was a Bavarian Police gun issued in early 1946 and then sold commercially (the proofs) in Germany. If the barrel does not have a German proof (I can’t see one), it was replaced after the gun left Germany. I can’t make out that other marking either.
