That stamp should be found on the stamped sheet metal cover put on the bottom of the Mannlicher magazine opening to prevent egress of dirt etc. This would have been part of the Gew88/05/14 conversion process from Mannlicher enbloc loading style to standard spring follower stripper clip loading. The marking is German.

It's a company logo and the date it was made.

I believe the company was, E. P. Lehmann Patentwerk, a toy company established in 1881 in the Brandenberg area of Berlin.

The toy company ,Bing, also made covers for the Gew88 mag well.
