Is it a "quick detachable" barrel??? (I don't read French)...Maybe a quarter-turn and pull it off???

In the Brandt- MÃ¼ller book Manual of Pistol and Revolver Cartridges Volume III is the cartridge described as made for a Mauser experimental model (C96) bearing the designation Model 1930. In its outer appearance it corresponds to the cartridge 7,63 Mauser and may easily be mistaken for it. The cartridge index of the firm DWM merely contains a note saying that his was an experimental round. The two bullets types DWM Nr. 501 and 502 can be distinguished only by their respective base (501 is hollow, 502 is flat and straight) and the different bullets weights from this fact.
Head stamp: K DWM K 580

I do not find the 7,63 Mauser dummy yet, but I found the .30 Luger which also show a number on the bullet.
