Eddie, it doesn't seem as if the barrel has a whole lot to tell. If it were original to the pistol it would have had a Reichsadler (eagle stamp the same as the rightmost one on the right side of the receiver) stamped on the right side of the barrel. The 4994 is, of course, the serial number of the pistol and the 8,84 is the land-to-land diameter of the bore in mm. It does not appear to have any markings indicating who replaced the barrel.
