Jan, thank you for your reply. I suspected that the "B" was for Battery but wanted it confirmed.
The pistol I bought Saturday was part of an estate sale that included perhaps a dozen commercial and Navy Lugers as well as several Imperial Army pistols. When I saw the unit markings on the Erfurt, I had to look twice to make sure I was seeing them correctly. I figured that finding same-regiment unit markings is uncommon and consider myself very fortunate to own such a pair.
