Pictured here is a 1917 DWM P.08 SN 9216 with replacement barrel marked 42 and E/655.
Obviously it was a Long P.08 befor the rework.
The right side of the receiver is stamped E/ HZAJC3 ( Heeres-Zeugamt ..., Army equipment depot ... ).
So far, so good. But what is the meaning of the additional eagle stamping ??

Any help will be appreciated.
