A pair of Lugers

The suffix is an e. Your two pistols fall right in a cluster of nine 1911 DWMs, serial numbers between 521e and 1190e that are all marked either B.1.T.S., B.2.T.S. or B.3.T.S.

Your two 1911 DWM Lugers:
782e is marked B.1.T.S.2.93;
808e is marked B.1.T.S.2.73;
are an historic and rare find.
Thanks for posting!!

OK, who or what was B.1.T.S?

And 1,2,3?

Clearly the last digits are the individual weapon number for that unit.
