Waffenamt Stamp

[Marvin]

BCC,


OK, I have answers to your questions as I did a complete examination of the pistol.


1. Mauser stamps appear to have been used. They are the same height and style as on the original frame.


2. The land diameter is not stamped on the barrel.


3. I could not find any final test proof on the barrel.


The Eagle/623 was stamped before the serial number was stamped on the barrel as the serial numbers just touch the bottom of the "623". To add a little more to the story, the receiver is a "42" stamped replacement part with the serial number stamped in the correct location, and the "42" is stamped in small numbers just in front of the serial number. The receiver is dated 1940.


This is an odd piece I have never seen or heard of before. From the inspectors stamps inside the frame, the frame appears to be a 1940 also. I am at a loss on this one and I appreciate all the help anyone can provide.
