"Most Vickers Lugers have a brass plate affixed to the left frame panel indicating the unit of assignment. As this one has no plate, nor any evidence of ever having one, it was probably one purchased by an officer."
Hi, I have to disagree on this point. The pistol clearly shows marks of where a brass plate was attached to it. The plate has been removed. Removal of the plate was done for a number of reasons, one was that certain soldiers took their pistols home with them and removed the plates in an attempt to make identification more difficult.
A nice, honest looking Vickers nonetheless.
