New Luger marked 8.J.R.9.18
 

Just picked this one up today. It is marked 8.J.R.9.18 and is an Erfurt 1914 / 1920 rework, sn 7818q. It is in nice shape and matching #'s for what I can see. the only down side was no mag.

It is a Reichswehr stamp. Please mention 8/J.R.9.18 is die 18. Pistole der 8. Kompagnie des Infanterie Regiments 9.

Thanks for the info. I don't know why but I like unit marked guns, maybe because it gives a little more history to the gun.

That was one of the two reasons I bought this one the other was it's my 1st Erfurt.

I assume it has been reblued since the strawed pasrts appear to be blued? Still a nice piece. Bill

It does appear to be reblued but some time ago.

Ron,

Circa 1921 the 9th Reichswehr Regt. was stationed in Potsdam.

In 1941 it was reorganized as the 7th Light Driving Column.

In 1942-43 it was again reorganized as the 9th Armored Infantry Regt.

In 1944 it became the 9th Grenadier Regt.

Thanks for the info Ron.

That is why I like unit mark guns the extra bit of history .
