The unit mark should translate to: Foot Artillery Regiment 12, battalion 1, (Munitions Column), 3 Howitzer, weapon 13

I take that to mean it was issued to a munitions supply train assigned to the 12th Regiment of Foot Artillery, Howitzers, 1st Battalion, 3rd Battery, weapon number 13

There is a nearly identical listing for a 1911 DWM unit marking on page 32 of Jeff Noll's revised edition of his book on Imperial German unit markings. Page 40 shows two nearly identical unit markings on 1911 Erfurts.
