Found this for sale, seems expensive at $460 

Is this Naval marking? I could see as security/ Guards at Naval Yards but not on board ships for Naval Landing Parties

Steve this marking stands for the Werft Wilhelmshaven, the German Imperial Navy dockyard facing onto the North Sea. The number shown is the weapons Inventory number, and these arms could be allocated to various ship's crew as required. An Imperial Navy marking will sometimes account for a premium in the asking price.

Cheers,  SS
