Might be a Prussian police unit mark.

lists:

G. Gumbinnen district

This command group was pretty large:

Kriminalpolizei: detective police force. In 1932 it consisted of 10,856 men.

(Edit: Don M's note below is, of course, from the authority on this subject... So much for my un-educated guess!)
