... ??? ... Klaus, that is a curious comment...What or who exactly were the 'mounted people'???
Cavalry??? Supply train 'people'??? Artillery???
A quick look in my library simply says 'issued to special [WW I German] troops'...
Edit 1: Hogg's
German Handguns says it was issued 'primarily to staff officers and rear area troops'...
Edit 2: Wilson's
Textbook of Automatic Pistols [pub 1934] simply refers to it as made before 'the Great War'...
