Unusual Marking/stamp On My New Hw80K Barrel?

[tyephillips 0]

Hello all,

I have just purchased a second hand HW80K in 22 serial number starting with 1754*** which I believe is around the end 2008 start of 2009. It is not hull stamped but has the serial number then - DE mark/stamp next to it? I have never seen this before and no info online after researching so was just wondering what it means stands for?

I bow to all your superior knowledge on these things and await all replies.

Cheers and all the best.

Is it not DE as in Germany - for the German market not UK?

 

Just a thought ...

 

OTC

yeah its probably a german import. best check the power, it might only be doing 5 ftlb

There is no hull stamp so presume it is a grey import as purchased second hand private so no other info.

 

the barrel is standard 12 inches screw cut, mine says 1754*** - DE

 

Have already check and running nice at 10.5 ftlbs

I have looked and no "funny F thingy"

If it had the f in a shield symbol then the gun would have been sold in germany and shooting under 6 ft lbs originally .I believe , I could be wrong.So the gun never appeared in germanys unlicensed air gun market but I could be wrong.
