Ok here is what I get from all the markings on the barrel flats.
Crown/W- choked barrel
Crown/U- final proof approved
Crown/S- Smooth bored
Suhl- proof house location
16 circled- general bore size
16/1- bore diameter range
435 - date of proof code- 4/35 or April 1935
So Suhl is just where the barrels were proofed, not an indicator of where the gun was made. Keep in mind these are Krupp steel barrels, the highest possible quality steel in it's day. Not for "Po Folks".
