Another Need Help ID'ing Post

The M.A. mark is open for discussion as there are at least two theory's . One is Matrosen Artillery ( Marine Artillery section) and another is Minenabteilung ( Mines detachment ) I believe in the first suggestion Marine Artillery. The number 23 is the number assigned to the weapon. This is a grip strap mark not often encounted.
As Tom suggested hopefully the rust has not taken over this "Old Sailor" I would also be very interested in this gun as I collect grip strap marks.
