Trommel markings

The B over N is the manufacturer, Bing in Nurnberg, which I think someone has previously posted was a toy manufacturer. According to Still the serial numbers went to over 700,000, and yours may possibly be the first variation as to the winding lever. The first lever simply pulled or telescoped out, where the second variation folded out. The first Trommel Magazines were probably not issued until late 1916 or early 1917.
