Unknown marking, Please identify

[sftrooper86]

Hello Gentlemen,

Please assist me in identifying this marking. I think I know what it means but I think I know a lot of other things as well. It is a wise man who knows his limitations.

Thank you again!

I would say that the unit mark can be interpreted as Bavarian 16th Infantry Regiment, 11th Company. A second possibility but less likely would be Bavarian 16th Infantry Regiment Staff, Weapon number 11. I doubt the latter because traditional unit markings called for the weapon number to be 2.1mm and the unit number be 3.1mm.

Thank you George,

My guesses were way off!
