crown over RC marked on barrel.

Unit Marks- 9./A.R.1.34.
Is this 9th.Regiment-Army Reserve-1st.Company-34th pistol ?? or ??. What is history of this unit?

What would be value of this Luger?

Thank You in advance.

I think you are pretty close...the AR is artillery regiment. And its first battery; which is a company sized unit in the artillery.

A gun in the condition you describe is not heavily sought by collectors, but it is still a bona fide piece of history. Pls do not futz with trying to make it shiney. I'd guess the value to be between $500-550

I thought of Artillery but didn't think that was what it was because of too much coincendice with my service.

Too bad it isn't 2nd. Battery,I served with "B"(2nd) Battery of a 155m/m outfit.

Thanks for the reply.
