P.08 rebarreled August 1984 ?

The chamber serial on my 1939 P.O8 is "596" (with a big "X" in front of it ???) and the underside of the barrel is also serialed "596"; however, below the "596" on the underside of the barrel (in smaller characters) are the numbers "8.84". Does this mean the barrel was replaced in August 1984 ? If so, why is there an almost microscopic waffenampt on the left side of the barrel ? This thing isn't import marked so it entered the U.S. pre-1968 right ?
