need help on 1915 Erfurt(?)

Seattle, there are no known examples of a 1915 dated Erfurt so your pistol's either worth a zillion dollars or it is a parts gun, obviously the latter. As to what it is or who did it, I think the answer lays in the strange proof marks on the left side of the barrel extension and the frame. They look like lazy crown/U and something similar to a Prussian eagle.

Some on this forum have a great knowledge of proofs. Perhaps one of our european friends can help. To me, they don't look German.
