Unit Mark G.K. on 1914 Erfurt...

Don,
Thanks for directing me to this thread. Based on what I remember seeing on the front strap of the pistol it looks very similar to the stamping above "G.K. 128". It appears that the firearm was blued after the application of the stamp leading some to believe that the gun was a reblue. However after removing the grips I found the typical areas in the white denoting rust bluing and normal looking ageing of the unblued areas. The grips may be replacements since they have no numbers or other markings. The stampings on the mags are more ornate looking in an almost Germanic script. They do not have the same unit marks. The holster was unlike anything I have ever seen for a luger. It was a tan or light brown color with multiple long straps. I could not find any makers marks. I will inquire on the holster as well. I will make a special trip to photograph the gun, mags and holster (if available) tomorrow.
