Russ,

I'm not sure what the "VPS" is, but the "WW 2114"
is an Imperal Navy marking meaning "Werft Wilhelmshaven" or The Wilhelmshaven Arsenal weapon Nr. 2114. Wilhelmshaven was the small arms arsenal attached to the North Sea Naval Station.

There are Navy marking that have yet to be identified perhaps the "VPS" falls into that category. Maybe someone else can shed some light on the markings.

Can you post any photos of the gun ?

Jim
