what you have is a very nice germanic style hammer gun...the markings are unknown to me as well...you are in the right place though to find more about this fine gun...suggest you have the barrel walls measured in front of the chambers and 7 to 9 inches down from the muzzles. so long as you have at least 90 thousands of barrel wall in front of the chambers and 30 thousands down from the muzzles, you should be good to go with low pressure one ounce loads.. if you can import rst brand shells, they are highly recommended for guns like yours...enjoy...
keep it simple and keep it safe...

That one has got me too. All my books only list marks applicable to the C.I.P. (Permanent International Commission for the Proof of Small Arms). So that rules out Germany, Austria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Hungary, Yugoslav, (the usual suspects). So I'm wondering if it is one of the other European countries that are not C.I.P. registered such as Denmark or the Netherlands. They will have some sort of Proof House but not one with acceptable standards to be C.I.P. registered. I'm sure someone will come up with something. As a last resort send photos to one of the British Proof Houses http://gunproof.com/ for clarification as someone there is bound to know and they are there to assist. Lagopus.....

barrel wall measuring can be tricky...to be super safe, suggest you find a gunsmith with the proper tools and knowledge to confirm that this old gun is a safe shooter with modern ammo...thanks for bringing us something we have not seen before...
