What can the experts tell me about this Luger?

Hmmm... I have a new theory about the Belgian proofs on my Luger's barrel extension.

According the Walter's "The Luger Story" page 148, Anciens Etablissements Pieper of Herstal-lez-Liege was subcontracted to produce some Luger parts for Erfurt. Since my barrel extension is Erfurt proofed and also bears Belgian proofs, could it not be a Belgian produced part? Barrel Extensions are not expressly listed as being made there, but "many small parts" could potentially include barrel extensions, could it not?

What say the experts?
