Paul

ST may represent Staatliche Polizei.

P.V. may represent Polizei Verwaltung (Police Headquarters).

Goslar is a German town in Lower Saxony.

The info about the markings comes from "History Writ in Steel" by Don Maus - a recent very comprehensive book on German Police markings.

Regards

Richie
