I found this reference for FWW and a
similar report (Dec 2015).
Quote:
The bottom of the barrel has what looks like a 'cross' which some would say are crossed rifles as found on Russian captured firearms. However, this 'cross' consists of four separate strike marks that appear as one separately striked 'cross'.
I have been informed that the unusual proof mark in the left side of the trigger guard is actually a mark added by a post-war firm dealing in firearms. The firm is still active (Frankonia Waffen Wurzburg FWW) and is located in Munich, Germany.

Check it out - test your German !
It does appear that multiple strikes created that mark in the barrel, and possibly too close to each other.
Thanks for sharing this one - hope then forward some better pictures!
