The markings signify: weapon number 60 of the machine gun company of the 35th Reserve Infantry regiment. TheLuiger is probably dated before 1916 because after that date the regiments had 3 machine gun companies and were designated as such in the unit markings. You can tell it is from a reserve unit due to the cursive R in the unit marking.

I would greatly appreciate knowing year, maker and serial number of the pistol.

This regiment saw action mostly on the eastern front but came back to the Verdun front in 1917.

Tom: I know of a 1908 First Model Military that was marked to a MG Co. of a certain regiment, then remarked in 1916 to the 3rd MG Co. of that same Regiment.
