1908 First Military
Several years ago at the SOS Mr. Ron Wood found an old fellow in the lobby with a Luger he wanted to sell. Ron called me and I bought it in a heart beat as I had a matching helmet and Miniature Bronze at home that were matched to the pistol It was a 1908 first military unit marked 19.U.3.14. the 19th Uhlan Regiment from Wuerttemberg. When I got home I dug into my stash and found not only a matched magazine but also a matched loading tool. All the other stuff came easily.

I love it when a plan comes together. I sure have developed a taste for unit marked Lugers.

Coincidence or magic? That is pretty remarkable!
Makes me wonder if there was one soldier card game where the rig was lost, and a second where just the Luger was lost... Marc
