Mystery 1911A1 Markings?

[tristan]

I've seen 1911A1s with British, Canadian and even Russian markings but I've never seen any like these. Can someone tell me what they are? They look German-like but I haven't a clue. They are on a 1.1MM serial number Colt 1911A1.

I had a victory revolver with the same markings. I'm not sure under what scenario they were proofed that way.

Police issue most likely

Might inquire over on the m1 carbine boards . CMP brought in a lot of carbines issued to post war police units . Some are into collecting them and they have an understanding of the added markings .
