Found these markings on a Luger that I have and was wondering if anyone can help me with what they mean. Thanks.

How about a bit more info? Like which type of Luger and the date of manufacture. That would reduce the guesswork!
At the moment (guessing):
S. probably stands for "Schutzpolizei", i.e. it is a police pistol.
Hn. could be Hanau (which is in Hessen)
I. is "Schutzbereich 1" i.e. first police division/area.
4. is "Hundertschaft" number 4. A "Hundertschaft" is roughly equivalent to a company.
112. is weapon number 112.
Thanks Patrick, here are a couple more photos. Date is 1920.

Normal 1920s Luger - fits with my interpretation.
