1912 DWM Unit Markings, Need Help
 

I have a 1912 Imperial Luger with the following front grip strap markings:
11.A.F.3.H.7

From Jeff Noll's book it appears that this means:
Fuss-Artillerie-Regiment 11, Munitionskolonne 3, Waffe Nr. 7

Presume "Fuss-Artillerie" is Foot Artillery . . . not sure what foot artillery function is.

Have no idea what Munitionskolonne means.

Would appreciate any help on this.

Thanks,

This explains it pretty well,

My understanding of "munitions kolonie" is the ammunitition train for the referenced guns. This would fit in the use of the Luger as a support unit weapon.

(Here's another interesting site, has all the German military abbreviations)

Thanks for the info, Roadkill.
