Could very well be (the 4-digit number); the 7-digit number may not have been convenient for CAI to fill in their forms...

Policia Nationale was my first guess, and also the guess of a member on Gunboards/Spanish Pistols...

But no one has identified the cartouche...I don't really buy the "proof" guess for the cartouche (not yet, anyway), as why put a proof on a part of the pistol that is not stressed??? (And is easily separable from the barrel/frame). And the barrel/chamber already has a proof (looks like a flaming bomb)...
