I have a 10" AE artillery on an '06 type frame. Witness marks are correct and the barrel is correctly numbered with a five digit serial number. It also has a "GERMANY" stamp beneath the bluing on the front of the frame a wee little Crown/N proofs. The front sight is a commercial type and the rear sight a fine tune artillery with wide cut aperture.
The rear sight is previously numbered but the number has been pretty much wiped out. It is .30 calibre. All kinds of things bubbled up during the twenties.
