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.
