Barrel marks are a crown w/RC (the Erfurt or DWM rework mark that is to the left in the picture) and a crown w/a very ornate B under it. The waffenampt is the the firing proof from post 1933? I can get another picture of the top of the barrel to confirm or deny the rework from an artillery to a short barrel. Now that I look at the pic, the barrel is a bit of a different color blue from the rest of the pistol - that lends credence to the barrel change mod after the war theory.
