I've received the gun and wanted to post a picture of the marking. The seller provided some interesting information from Reinhard Kornmayer and Major a.D.hans-Rudolf v.Stein suggesting that the Garde-Kurassier would not have marked their pistols in the traditional "Eskadrons" order but rather continuous within the regiment. Is there any way to tell the difference between the Police style of grip marking and military? I'm not doubting Don's Police identification, it's just with the duplicate initials being used it does create a bit of a question. And following up on what Klaus wrote, would an entire regiment have 122 Luger pistols or would this number be too high?

Thanks again to all, this has been very interesting
