        Where did you see/here a reference to a "s.M.G. 12/61"? Maybe if you can put the reference in context, we can help you figure it out. If you found the reference/citation in a written work, perhaps you can post a photo of the reference in question?

            Relief appears to be MG08. The 12/61 must have been taken from stampings on the gun. Having seen many unit markings and non-factory markings etc on Mg08s, I can't identify this number. It is not representative of period markings on the guns.

                Yup!

                3rd Place.

                You could be onto something regarding being the unit. There is little space between s.M.G and 12./61...so I thought it was all one word.

                Looks like it could be a unit abbreviation...
