Hey There,

I was wondering if someone could give me any insight into my 1914 DWM, Serial Number: 1490 Suffix: a

In particular, on the underside of the barrel above the serial number is engraved "B6 3 1". I was wondering if this means the weapon was issued to the 6th Bavarian Regiment (I'm not sure is Unit Markings necessarily have to have periods between the numbers or not). Below the serial number on the underside of the barrel is engraved "8,82"

Additionally, the proof marks look like "XGE5" in Gothic writing, although the "G" could be another letter inside of a circle.

I'd appreciate any insight anyone could give me from this information. Thanks.
