Hal,

Nothing wrong with a restored Luger as long as it has some redeeming values. In this case it has very rare redeeming values. I saw this one and was tempted, but have other money consuming projects. the price was fair.

6th KÃ?Â¼rassier(heavy cavalry) Regiment 6th Eskadron weapon #18

A very rare and beautiful unit mark. The other options would have additional markings or designators.

The 6th Squadron was attached to the 22nd Infantry Div. which battled in Russia and Romania until 1918 when it returned to France. Engaged in the Battle of the Marne and Battle of the Somme. Losing large numbers as POWs.
