Story:
644 is not a date stamp. Are there any other typical German proofmarks besides the crown over V above the barrel flats? German bore marks usually were in gauge within a circle or a gauge ratio(16/1, ...). I wouldn't think that the chamber lengths would be 70mm unless altered. They should be 65mm. Could you post a pic of the barrel flats? Also, the crown of V(Vorrat-on hand) was just a stamp and possibly not subject to proof, unless possibly voluntary submission. In Germany, the Austrian's Vorrat's mark allowed the owner a 1 year grace period for proof.
Kind Regards,
