unit mark question

Jeff, your serial number for an '08 first military falls close enough to a bunch of recorded Bavarian '08's for me to guess that your actual marking may be "B.5.R.M.G.12". That would be Bavarian 5th Infantry Regiment, machine gun company, weapon 12. Mr. Jeff Noll reports '08 serial number 9537 as being marked "B.5.R.M.G.47.".

Photos and the actual serial number would be appreciated.
