Just because they say you are paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get you.

Dave,
Since the bore diameter was marked in mm (8.9), but the case length wasn't shown, I believe the drilling was proofed close to the 1911 improvements to the 1891 proof law being implemented. I would guess it was proofed in about 1912. Since it does not have a proof date or register number, it was proofed in Suhl, so it was likely in or near there. Since there seems to be no crown W mark on the right barrel but is on the left, the left barrel is the only one choked. Sorry, this doesn't help very much to ID the maker.
Mike
