Help - identifying M.95 buttstock markings (from Ethiopia stockpile)

I recently purchased an M.95 in 8x50 from Royal Tiger Imports. Other markings indicate that it was produced in 1916, but I cannot find any source that identifies what the carving on this particular buttock might indicate.

Solider graffiti? Clan/militia markings from use in that Ethiopia/Somalia? Any assistance would be appreciated!
