cof = Carl Eickhorn - component maker
jdq = Schmeideberger Metallwarenfabrik - component maker
kur = Steyr - component maker
cra = Alkett [Altmaerkische Kettenwerke GmbH] - assembler I think.

NC [with cra] = 1944

I think the BH marking is for the post WW2 Austrian Bundesheer.

It was produced in 1944 by Maget Tegel Berlin,.......MG42.US • View topic - The Manufacture: Maget (Maschinen-und Geraetetbau GmbH)
