Sounds like a surplus police issue. It is not uncommon for other countries to sell off surplus such as Star, Astra, Norinco, as well as many others. I can't remember for sure but I think Astra is from Japan.

It should look like the photos on GunsWorld.com . Made in Spain. It was issued to the German Luftwaffe if it has the official WaA mark, which would increase its value. The Deactivated-guns webpage is sort of fluttery in my Firefox browser, but you should be able to see the markings.
