They describe what they see.

But there is no reason for Mauser to mark a pistol like this and certainly not with their company name on it. They'd be pretty sure they are Mauser and the maker if used in-house.

Prüfung Pistole is also a weird text. Again it is pretty obvious that it is a pistol. Why put it on the side?

Prüfung is a word that would not be used in the context someone is trying to percieve here.

So it looks like it was marked by someone who knew just enough German to think he could fool people.

The R&D department just marked their guns with a V number so they could be registered in their own gun registration book.

But this is a commercial gun from the known v-series block which has nothing to do with R&D.

Besides, what would it be 'Proofing'?
