Need help with unit marking

Hi all,

I haven't posted in a while, too many things going on. I hope to get more active in the near future.

I Just bought a new luger from another forum member; neither of us has seen a unit marking quite like this one, so I am hoping for some help. I don't have access to my camera right now so I will post pictures in a couple of days when I return from San Diego. The Luger is a 1915 DWM with military proofs, no sear safety or mag safety, no double date. It is unit marked on front grip strap "InF.F.VI.8." The InF font is smaller than the second F and the VI by about 1/3. The 8 is about 1/2 the size of the second F and VI. I am rife with speculation but will hold my thoughts until I hear from the forum.

What has me perplexed is the Roman Numerals, I've seen them used for Army groups or police districts but I don't recall them as regiment numbers. Any thoughts appreciated

Thanks,
Bob M.
