Eric,

Very nice rig with interesting history. I have a 1911 Erfurt that may have been used by the same unit as yours.

My 1911 Erfurt has two sets of unit marks, 177.R and crossed out: 12.T.S.1.169. I believe the intact marking is for the 177th Infantry Regiment. The crossed out markings indicate the 12th Train Battalion, Medical Ambulancer, 1st Company, Weapon No. 169.

Your narrative has added more information to the history of my pistol.

Thank you for sharing this information.
Dick
