Ted,
It looks like a DWM barrel rather than the usual Erfurt, and the DWMs seem to have a smoother finish and a less pronounced transition from the concave to the cylindrical contour on the fat section. I will not dispute the observations of two of the most knowledgeable individuals when it comes to artilleries and restoration, but this one would certainly fool me. It is a nice looking piece.
