Erfurt Police Luger - Unit Markings Question

[K.H.]

Hi all.

Am currently looking at an Erfurt P.08 Luger. It seems to have all matching numbers and an added sear safety (less mag). It has a few different markings which I do not know how to decipher. Does anyone have any ideas as to what they may mean? Pics included below.

S.P.M is Sächsische Polizei Magdeburg, 1920s police in Saxony.

The other is probably a nonstandard WWI marking for Feld-Artillerie Regiment Nr.78, also from Saxony.

Edit: I'm a dummy. Magdeburg is in Saxony-Anhalt, not Saxony, so the M is another in Saxony. I'll have to look it up.

That second unit marking has very atypical placement. Super cool though
