Military guys can't help
 

Anyone know who made this barrel? These are the ONLY markings:http://i1035.photobucket.com/albums/...r/DSC01829.jpg

I wish I could help but honestly, I don't have a clue.

Type of luger
Obvious rebuild?
Finnish?
Any other markings?

I have not seen these markings either, but you could help with; caliber, length of barrel?

My guess is that it is simply a replacement barrel.

In addition, close ups (yes I blew it up) might help us?

Didn't we just recently see some photos of a pistol with these same markings on the barrel? If memory serves me, I think that the discussion consensus was that the barrel was of East German manufactured post-war, and perhaps so was the pistol.

Does anyone remember that thread?

I have this Weimar Navy Reworked 1917 Navy with an E-PS marked barrel. I've never found anything that identifies the marking.

There aren't any import ot export marks, and the finish matches. My opinion is that it is an original commercial German rework mark.

You guys have been great! At least someone has seen these markings before, and Ron Smith even has a pistol with those. Ron, I'm not sure that it is a German Commercial rework marking, because mine is on a 1940 Mauser 42 code. The East German rebuild marks make more sense to me. Mine is mostly matching, with the exception of the takedown lever, sear, and this odd barrel. No import markings that I can find, although in the right light some faint scratches on the barrel look like they might once have been a laser dot marking of some kind. I wish I could find that thread John Sabato speaks of where the consensus was East German; I've been typing in every combination of words I can think of to search the archives here to no avail.

Eric,

Every East German made barrel that I have seen is stamped with a Crown N. Similar to the Nitro proof on Alphabet Commercials. I really don't think it's an EG mark.

I have seen them also. It was on a early rework. I do not have the gun but it was a WWI luger than got reworked for the police. Can not find the topic or notes associated with the pistol.
