According to official Imperial German Army rules and regulations for marking weapons your III.20 would signify Armeekorps III, command/stab, waffe nr. 20.

The practice of unit marking magazine bottoms and loading tools was required and then recinded prior to 1914.

Also, I recall some Weimar Era tools that may have similar markings.
