I think this might be a case of the old confusion between J and I as a result of the German habit of using capital J instead of capital I to prevent confusion with the number 1. In which case, it would be a rifle of the 21st Infantry Regiment, renamed from the 21st Bavarian Infantry Regiment on 1 October 1934 when the Reichswehr was turned into the Wehrmacht.
On 15 Oct. 1942 this was reformed as the 21st Grenadier Regiment, which was annihilated in the fighting on the Eastern front in January 1945, survivors being merged into the 95th Grenadier Regiment.
