Newbie needs advice

If you look at picture number 8 in the first post there is an eagle on the right rear side of the barrel. The small mark above the eagle does not appear to be a character ofany kind. It looks like a random pit though it is quite deep and sharp.

So as a shooter, is there any harm/benefit to a careful refinish/reblue?

Regards,
Jeff

I have enhanced the photo and the stamp on the right side of the barrel is definitely the proof of the Berlin Police Armory and appears to be the TP for the Technische Polizeischule. This means the rebarraling was performed by the Armory in 1935 or later (HWIS, Chapter 12) using a barrel manufactured by Simson in 1923.

In my opinion, there would be no harm to the historical record provided that the markings are preserved.
