MARKINGS ON 1916 ERFURT

I have a 1916 Erfurt which was captured in WWI. All numbers match including clip and holster. Trying to determine if the markings indicate anything other than proof marks and military acceptance. On right side, I've got Imperial eagle followed by 3 initials with stylized Erfurt crown--I assume these are proofs-likewise on the back of the toggle,are 2 letters with crown over them- Front of trigger guard has almost indecipherable stamps-Underside of barrel has 8 and 82, as well as sn--ANything else I should look for?
