Chuck, where else but on the barrel is an eagle 6?

On the barrel makes sense to me; however that would likely have been a mid 1920's rework (although they were reworking officially in 1922 if I remember right.

Is there a deathhead on the barrel or is that a proof eagle?

If a deathhead, then I believe it fake... If not,then I see no reason they wouldn't leave it on; deathheads are from the freicorps generally and early 1919-1923 or so from what I have been reading recently...

It looks refinished to me, but the barrel, I would expect it to be a another color...

Ed
