Help with unit mark on reichs revolver

I recently picked up a reichs revolver which has a unit mark on the backstrap. Anyone know what this translates too? 76. A. 5. 126.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike, These things are popping up everywhere.

76 A= 76th Field Artillery

5= 5th Battery

126 = weapon number

Is the marking on the backstrap (unusual) or on the bottom of the butt (usual)?
