Unit Marked 1913 DWM

alanint · 03-16-2015, 10:11 AM

A gentleman recently contacted the Forum to inquire about a Unit Marked Luger he owns. As he does not speak English I have translated his inquiry as follows;

The pistol in question is a 1913 DWM, serial number 3196, (no suffix, if any was provided). Unit markings on the grip are reproduced exactly as furnished in the inquiry below:

L1 R.A.F 5 11.

The owner inquires if there is a Royal Airforce Connection, which I doubt.

Can any of the experts give a full accounting of this grip strap Unit mark, so that we can answer the gentleman back?

Thanks!
