Herb,

An odd number to be sure. I can't connect to your link to look at the mark but the "Br." marking is regulation for Breslau. If the second mark is a Roman Numeral "I" then it would indicate the specific administrative district. The last marking of the four digit number "1587" does seem very high but it is possible. I have seen numbers this high for Berlin which had a slightly different numbering system with lots of pistols.

I hope this helps.

George
