24th Leib Dragoon marked 1910 DWM
A 1910 DWM unit marked to 24.D.3.11. 24th Leib Dragoon Regiment 3rd Eskadron Waffe 11.
All matching ser# 3157 c including grips which are marked with all four digits of the serial number. Magazine is mis-matched but close enough ser# 3475 c.
The 24th Leib Dragoons were attached to the 25th Infantry Division, 2nd Cavalry Div. and 3rd Cavalry Div. as per Jeff Noll's Imperial German Regimental Markings. According to Histories of 251 Div. of the German Army. The 24th Leib Dragoons were part of the 2nd Cavalry "3rd Eskadron detached" I am assuming that the 3rd Eskadron was assigned to the 25th Div., with the 6th Dragoon Regiment.
Shown with 1910 Holster marked to the 6th Dragoon Regiment 2nd
Eskadron.
