1917/1920 Converted Navy with Unusual Markings

George Anderson · 11-30-2004, 04:07 PM

There were some Bavarians interspersed with ground Naval units in Belgium and up against the Channel, but the Bavarians had no Dragoons. It is not a Dragoon marking.

Off sized numerals or letters are just as easily explained during the Weimar period as "off-pistols" like a P04. It seems to me that it is most likely a police pistol.

All sear safety pistols were police, but not all police pistols had sear safetys.
