Two Erfurt LP-08's, Issued to Same Regiment

[Doubs]

Jan,

Looking through "Imperial Lugers" I note that on page 121, of the five 1914 Erfurt Luger's listed with unit markings, two belonged to the 234th Reserve Infantry Regiment's Machinegun Company. The 234th belonged to the 51st Reserve Division. It would appear that the 51st Reserve Division received a fair allocation of Erfurt's Artillery model output. I realize that no firm conclusions can be reached on the basis of four examples but it would be interesting to know how many the 51st received.
