Unit-Marked 1918 Erfurt

Unusual for a 1918 dated Luger to be regimental unit marked from the Imperial Army. The 142.R. is often seen on earlier dated equipment, (I have one). Whomever the regimental armorer was, he was very diligent in his duties, even after unit marking was cancelled in 1916. For whatever reason/s the discontinued protocol continued to be followed into 1917 by some military units, but rarely into '18.
