"FSB" Mark on 71/84

I picked up an Amberg 71/84 locally. It is all matching 1887 in pretty good shape. One thing puzzles me though. Next to the date of manufacture and issue, there are three letters: FSB. Anyone have any thoughts?

Here are the rest of the pics of the rifle.


It's Bavarian Leib Infantry marked and matching. The Bayonet is marked to the same unit.

The FSB is interesting, could be something related to Bayern, but no idea what so ever

What nowadays is most known for carrying the FSB name I assume is incorrect

Damn fine Amberg! With this and Spandau 1886 1, it's great to be able to add two nice 71/84s to the reference at the same time.
