Fair enough, you are entitled to your opinion. By the way, the shield stamp has nothing to do with Freikorps. It was in use long before the 1920s, being found on Model 1900 and 1906 examples. It just signifies that there was something about the barrel that required additional scrutiny and when found acceptable and/or corrected it received the inspector's mark.
