1939 Banner Eagle L Unknown Barrel Mark

Thanks for the quick replies. Besides the importer mark on the barrel the bluing just looks too good vs the grip condition. The marks I have been able to research seem to all check out. May have been "Re-conditioned" and then imported. The clip is marked "Haenel (inside an arrow) Schmeisser Patent" in small lengthwise lettering on the right side near the base.. The base looks to be made out of aluminum with the 3 didget serial number with a "1" over it. The rest of the clip is very shiny -- perhaps polished -- certainly never blued. At this point I see it as a no go -- especially if I'm losing future value -- collectibility right off the bat. Lots to learn !! I appreciate ya'll keep me out of a jam.
Best Regards,
Oldreb
