Can you identify this proof mark?

I think Dwight's scepticizum may be well placed. Imperial machine gun unit markings that I have observed are all stamped in uppercase, as M.G..

I have not seen , nor know of, any Weimar machine gun unit marks. As Ron points out Mg. indicates Magdeburg on police Luger markings.

The 4th Reichsheer Div. "InfantriefÃ?Â¼hrer" (Infantry Command Staff) was stationed at Magdeburg (10th , 11th and 12th Infantry Regts.) So, I would doubt that it is a Reichswehr unit related mark. No units of the 5th Div. were stationed at Magdeburg.
