1915 DWM unit markings?

The double (identical) unit mark "1.M.G.21.A." lacks a weapons number and therefore is not a duplication of a complete unit stamp. This is not common but happens.

The 1.M.G.21.A. is also identified as 1.Machinengewehr-Kompagnie, Ausbildungskommando?, 21 Armeekorps. Perhaps some of the unit markings experts on this forum can clear this up.

Also, a similar unit stamp: M.G.A.1.53. has been identified as Machinengewehr-Abteilung Nr. 1, weapon No 53, in official markings regulations.

Thanks for the details of your M.G. unit marked Lugers.

Also looked into my new book the unit marking 1.M.G.21.A. and I found it exactly as you said but (Scharfschutzen) is added after Machinengewehr. Shame we don't have a weapon's number.
