unit markings

Hi all
This appears on a 1917 DWM. B.G. 11. 13. It is on the left side between the sideplate and safety lever. Any translators here?
Thanks, Tom

Hallo everybody,
I am newie here with my new, "tag together" Luger (not matched numbers, I supposed - will be shooter)... Barrel and toggle are Mauser (42) 1940, numbered, but bottom is much elder, and have unit marking on foregrip - 1./J.R.5.30.
Number is 5373i
Any information about date of production and unit? Pleaaasse

Upper is fully numbered - matching numbers - "20". Frame has another number (see previous post), but some small parts (locking bolt, trigger) have different numbers, some has no any number (magazine catch), some was evidently renumbered to match frame (safety catch and bar from "33" to "73", overpunching first "3" by "7". Font and size satisfy factory punches. Grips look replica.

It is a mismatched "parts pistol".
