Thanks very much!

Any idea on the barrel stamps? The MH is something I have never seen

Looks like the upper was renumbered to match the rest of the gun. So my thought is it was possibly a 30 cal, then converted with the upper to a 9mm. Looks like period work though.

The marks are worker's markings and Mauser marking, not proof marks. You will see the "mh" on most/many Mauser broomhandles.

No doubt the upper has been re-numbered, when and/or why is just speculation. The font and the numbers do not look period to me.
