The Bavarian 21st Infantry Regiment was organic to the 5th Bavarian Division, part of the 3rd Bavarian Corps, of the 6th Army (Crown Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria) and remained so from 1914 through 1918. Battle history: 1914 - fought in Lorraine, Woevre; 1915 fought in Champagne and Woevre; 1916 fought in Artois, Somme; 1917 fought in Artois, Belgium and Flanders; and, in 1918 fought in the Battle of Picardy and Battle of the Somme. In 1918, the British rated this division as First Class.

Your Luger has an excellent history behind it!!! Congrats.
