I would believe this barrel was installed by German. The finish matches the frame well, witness mark alignment is great, no wrench dent on barrel, and most important, no fake matching s/n on it and this "Su25" stamp does not boost anything. Supposed being an honest gun and used as a reference to judge the worksmanship quality of other rebarrelled guns. But it cannot talk....

[Edit] Not shot anyone is good. But who knows. Some IJA swords coming with rust, nicks, broken tips etc.... thought on it might be used to chop something during the war makes me sick. So skipping those whenever possible although they are usually listed lower. Maybe should collect a few German ones.... German blades were decoration only. Personally, I don't appreciate guns "captured" from decomposed body either (like described by book "Foot Soldier"). But how can you tell.... by smell?
