James,

Your Luger is marked to the post WWI Reichswehr 1st Battery / Artillery Regt 1 weapon 40. circa 1921.
It was part of the Reichswehr 1st Infantry Div. It was stationed a Königsberg . One of three Artillery Regiments deployed on the Eastern Frontier against the Polish Army. Equiped with either 77mm field guns , or 105mm light field howitzers.

In the early to mid 1920's Poland, and Czechoslovakia supported by Russia conducted assaults against the Eastern Border of Germany in an attempt to retake territories captured by Germany during the war, which Germany was allowed to retain by the Treaty after WWI.

August 1939 it was reorganized into the 37th Heavy Artillery Regt. and was deployed during the invasion of France. In 1944 it was again reorganized into the 121st Artillery Regt.
