1911 Erfurt 100R.M.G.2.
Good Day All,
Help :) Am looking at a nice 1911 Erfurt with Regimental Marking 100.R.M.G.2. Can you guys help with where this was issued? Thank You |
The 100th Regiment was a Saxon unit garrisoned in Dresden.
|
Any pics?
|
Thank You
I take it this was a Machine Gun Unit? for the M.G. I'll try and get some hopefuly Friday it's at a local shop |
What is one of the rarest regimental marking?

Sorry for the quick post heres a couple Pics
they have a 1913 ( 1908 Patern ) also |
I believe that the scroll R indicates a reserve unit.
The 1913 may have a factory hold open and a stock lug depending upon when it was made in 1913. The earlier ones had neither or possibly a factory hold open and no stock lug. The hold open was mandated in a May, 1913, directive while the stock lug was mandated in an August, 1913 directive. Thus I think it possible for a 1913 to have the factory hold open but no stock lug... but that is speculation on my part. I would think that if any were produced that way, they would be very few in number. Basically I'm saying that the 1913 Lugers could possibly be found in the following configurations: 1. No factory hold open or stock lug 2. Factory hold open but no stock lug 3. Factory hold open and stock lug 4. Early 1913 Luger without factory hold open modified by the Erfurt Rifle Arsenal to have a hold open and new front sight The only one I'm not certain of is number 2 |
Nice pistol, thanks for the photo shoot. John.

The 1913 does not hold open and has no stock lug
I did not break it down to see if it just has a broken spring The 1911 does hold open |
Looks to be a very nice Erfurt Good-Day :thumbup:
I for one would love to see more pictures of it if you buy it. :D |

If the 1913 doesn't have a hold open, it was made early that year. Some units didn't return their Lugers to have the hold open added. The picture below shows a hold open and if you pull the action open on the 1913, you will be able to see if it has one or not. https://i.imgur.com/JnSSZyd.jpg |
The two German states whose early Lugers were not always retrofitted were the Bavarians and the Württemberg(ische) ones if I remember correctly. I believe Baden was also grouped with Württemberg in the army units as well but I think they mostly had the retrofits done.

Cool Info on the Hold Open
Thank You Added a few extra pics I had taken Looking at the 1913 looks like it did not have the Hold Open or Mod Now heres the hard part for me it's probably in my best interest to pass on these right now But it would not be fair, as they are both kind of rare to not pass this on in case one of you wants to give them a good home Almost forgot they also have a very nice DWM Comercial in .30 if someone is looking for a shooter Sound Load in Everett Wa 425-252-2222 They are a really good people and they do ship As always thank you all for your help and comments and we shall see what comes up next time :) |
What are they asking for these?
