- So, my gun is not on the Landau becasue it went to a regiment that was part of Ist Bavarian Army Corps.

The other lugers with similar serial numbers 58763, 58806, 58810, 58813, 58828 and 58735 were sent to regiments that were part of the 2nd Bavarian Army Corps.

Therefore, the guns were made around the same time (similar serial numbers), but were sent to different regiments with different artilleriedepots.

Is there a list for Artilleriedepots in Augsburg and München?

- So, about the black dye holsters. It is known that there was an order in 1915 to dye them black, but the reason for the black dye is unknown. Was the order for all holsters to be dyed black, or only for certain regiments? Was the order given by the commander? Does the fact that the holster was dyed black in 1915 indicate it was still being used by an active soldier at the time?


- "I would buy the regiment history of the 2. Bavarian Res. Inf. Reg. and if I couldn´t find him there I would try it with the 16. Bavarian Inf. Reg."

Where can I buy?




Thanks again Klaus.
