Unit marking ID (4/A.R. 5.51)

Hi Rob,

Welcome to the forum.

Your friends Luger is marked to a Reichswehr Artillery Regiment

Battery 4 / Artillery Regiment 5 weapon number 51

1918 is the year it was made by DWM. "1920" is the Gov't Property mark applied to prevent theft and re-sale.

Ron,

Thanks for the help. He has another one maybe you could help on.

It is also a DWM, but no 1918/1920 markings.

Has a 3 didget serial number, with last 2 stamped on all parts.
Has what I can find out is a German "Nitro" mark on 2 places.
an "N" with a mark over it.

and what looks like a q or o stamped under the barrell.
