What Is This Chamber Marking?

It is the crest of Graff Anton (“Max Egon II, Fürst von Fürstenberg (Prince of Fürstenberg (Baden-Württemberg) – Maximilian Egon II Christian Karl Aloys Emil Leo Richard Anton, known by his family name Anton”), a royal personage at the time of Kaiser Wilhelm II. It is a presentation carbine serial number 9110C with the early push-button stock. It is GL marked on the rear of the toggle. It was purchased by Mark Rendina at the last James Julia auction. It was formerly in the collection of Dr. Sturgess and has excellent provenance.
