translation of Chinese makers mark. Help needed

[geob10]

Hello

I wondered if anyone could translate the mark on the base of this buddha. The piece is badly damaged but i have not seen the mark before + someone has gone to the effort of repairing him!

any help would be greatly appreciated.

many thanks
