The marking may very well be a Weimar provisional stamp applied for weapons control and accountability after the armistice. However, I do not see any other evidence that the gun was used during the Weimar era. If it had been I would expect to see the former WWI unit marking crossed out. It is uncertain when the number was applied but it almost certainly was what we call a "rack number" used for inventory control, whether it was a Weimar organization, museum, etc.
