Ronald,
I agree you are probably right, although as far as I know, the German "Imperial Army" existed in a period when the nobility supplied a great part of the officers, and at the time officers wore swords and perhaps only some small caliber privately bought pistols were used by them, in fact the higher was the rank the smaller was the sidearm.
