1.G.G. signifies: 1. Garde Grenadier Regiment, which has the honor name of 1. Kaiser Alexander Garde Grenadier Regiment source Gortz German Small Arms Markings page 40.
The information is in a book.

Andy,
Luger unit markings do not include the honorary designation, so "1.G.G.xx.x" is exactly what you are looking for.

Luger marking instructions call for 1.G.G. as the format for the 1st Garde Grenadier Regiment. Gortz German Small Arms Markings (page 20, 40) identifies this as "Kaiser Alexander Garde -Grenader-Regiment Nr 1". Have never seen (nor has such been reported) a Luger marked KAGGR / KAGGR1. However, I have a spiked helmet marked KAGGR1 / IB Only small arms were subject to markings regulations.

The unit markings instructions do not include honor names on pistols. However, such are rarely observed.

All this information is in a book and not on the net.

I have a 1917 LP.08, sn 9868g, marked 1.G.G.12.9 which signifies: 1. Kaiser Alexander Garde Grenadier Regiment, 12 Kompagnie, Waffe no. 9. It is shown on page xxv of Imperial Lugers, Second Edition.

Jan, have you ever considered to sell this Luger?
