The H in Unit Mark?

Dick Herman · 06-30-2010, 04:02 PM

I recently acquired a 1911 Erfurt Luger with the following unit mark, "9.A.F.III.8.H.10".

Using Jan Still's "Imperial Lugers" I translate the unit mark into "The 9th Foot Artillery Regiment, 3rd Army Ciops, 8th Battery, H, Weapon No. 10".

Still's only listing for H is Husar (hussars, cavalry). Could this be correct for a Foot Artillery Regiment? Could horses and cavalry been used to move artillery weapons?

I would appreciate an comments or advice regarding what the H is.
