The unit markings are Infantry Regiment 2, Second Battalion Staff and Infantry Regiment 16, First Battalion staff. I can not give you more details on the unit markings at this time as I am away from my library.
Was that you George with the above answer. Thanks for that answer. But you have to excuse my ingnorance as the previous poster pointed out. I was not certain if that was WWI or WWII. See complete questions from this post.
I'm sure you assumed I knew which War the regiments served.

Yes, they are WWI or earlier markings and lend strong credibility to the chances that the pistol was an officer's private purchase pistol
