I don't recognize that as any sort of a proofmark, but it might be part of a lot or jobber number; the bag grip and stepped half-octagonal barrel are typical for an American pistol of the type, but I'd expect to see something engraved along the top of the barrel if it was American. If it was European, it would certainly have a recognizable proofmark somewhere on the metal. Does it look as if there was once a trigger-guard attached?
