Glad to oblige:

1) Model 1879 Trooper's Model made by Dreyse and undated. Unit marked I.M.1.G.29

2) Model 1883 Officer's Model made at the Erfurt Arsenal and dated 1893. Unit marked 13.A.3.143.

They are both in the German 10.55mm calibre. trooper's model and officer's model are collector designations and weren't used by the German Army.

Sorry for the lousy photo, my camera was having an off day. The big one - trooper's model - is my favourite too. I'm fairly sure that it saw service in WW1 as it's in a 1913 dated holster.
Regards,
John
