That isn't all that uncommon. It has military numbering and proofs/inspection marks so it was never a commercial piece. But during the 1920s their economy was so bad that almost anything that could be exported commercially was gathered up to raise money. As you know the US regs required country of origin markings, so these former military pieces had to be stamped accordingly.
