Fact is there are no proofs from the era of Prussia on this gun.
The proof marks as shown are from the era of DDR (German Democratic Republic), used since 1950 from Suhl proof house.
The mark of the eagle is the finishing proof. U under crown is the proof for scrutinize, W under crown is the proof for choked barrels.
Due this proofs, "MADE IN PRUSSIA" on this gun must be a fake, the formal abolition of Prussia occured 25.February 1947.
