Great link, very in depth info, much better than What I had on the dou dot series.

I posted 2 photos for you review
Swazbird looks like it got in a fight and lost... Numbers are probably a code/date, post war arsenal refurb markings, or just a mystery.
This is an "ar" 1943 rifle (Mauser Borsigwalde); the peened off waffenamt leads me to believe that this is a Yugo rifle, reworked and denazified postwar. The number on the barrel should be a lot or batch number, the makers usually had letter codes.
all of the other eagle/swas are unmolested and in perfect shape
Looks like the same thing, a barrel production code, with date as it looked.

Yes, and made by Mauser Borsigwalde itself (instead of sub contractors).
Glad this subject was brought up. Thought I read Borsigwalde made their own barrels. My 1940 has no visible barrel code on top but could be stamped on bottom of barrel underneath the stock. Not about to take it apart. Thanks for input from all
