The marking that looks like FWW on the left side of the reviever is the mark of a german dealer named FRANKONIA in WÜRZBURG Germany
. It means FRANKONIA WAFFEN WÜRZBURG.

The butt socket marking looks like a sideways Canadian property mark- "C broadarrow".
Why the "ALnumber" below the Long Branch S/N?

Glad that was cleared up. I thought it was a Space Invaders import mark. Whew!

Does look rather Germanic to me.
