Hi Reed, I was able to access your photos on your profile. The unit mark translates to: Bavarian 1st Foot Artillery Regiment, Battery 3. Weapon no. 3. I notice that the trigger plate is mismatched, which makes little difference, since, as Ed Tinker has pointed out, chromed guns are of little interest to collectors. The chroming was probably done in the fifties by the GI who brought it back. Remember those automobiles? Regards, Norm
