Unit Marking and History Help

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.

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.
