Please check. It could be gqm. My reason for asking is:
ggm was a supplier of ammunition components (less likely) - F.Ulrich & Söhne, Annweiler
gqm was a supplier of magazines and gun components (more likely) - Lock & Hardenberger, Idar-Oberstein

Look at the dings on the stock. Unblemished metal finish would be a sign of "improvement" (metal finish not matching wear & tear state of wood finish)
