Tom - thanks for a lead on this. I'll look at Constanza and see if he's identified it.

Since the mark is centered on top of the barrel, I expect it to be intended and not an accidental mark. The serial number mark on the bottom barrel flange is made with correct dies, but is also over-stamped at an angle for some of the digits.

This M1900 Luger was imported through CKC, Portsmouth, Ohio (probably sold by FGS Firearms), but I don't know it's history before that. If he imported from Germany, an Oberndorf re-barrel would make sense.
