First is the receiver / barrel extension does not have a hole in the back for the toggle axle pin , and there are no proofs or serial number . This part also has a small flat across the chamber from front to back . This part is also fully period type blued and does not look like it was scrubbed of any old markings .
Second is the breech block is in the white and not completed in the manufacture / making machining , and no markings .
Third is the brass rear sight base and the locking bolt that is a composite piece of copper and brass pinned together ; also the breech block pin is brass . These parts all show quality manufacture .

Hey glad to see you here. I would speculate this barrel assembly was liberated from a factory and maybe along with other parts. Who knows. The cut down barrel is typical of some WWl artillery. The fact there are no holes for an axel makes me think in was probably in a factory junk pile after WWl. The unfinished breach block again suggest to me a factory liberation. Joe Kent
