Parlorpistol, the two crowns and U are German proof marks. They are actually two proof marks - one crown alone is the proof for revolvers, muzzle loading pistols and single shot pistols; the crown/U is the final and definitive proof for arms proved in the finished state. Those marks were discontinued in 1939.
