Patrick, the unit marking on your pistols indicate that they were issued to Bayerisches 1. Train Battalion, Sanitaets Compagnie 2: Bavarian 1st Train Battalion, 2nd Ambulance company. It was an ambulance and combat medic unit. The 1, 2, 3 relate to the battalion number in which case they would correspond with the Army Corps numbers. In this case the three Bavarian army corps. Your pistols would have seen service within the First Bavarian Army Corps.
