What is L.A. 1. 23 ?

Tony S. · 04-26-2005, 06:48 PM

I am sorry, I should have been more specific. The gun is a Ortgies Pocket Automatic .32 ACP cal, probably around 1926. The mark is on the front grip strap. I was told that it could mean "Feld-Luftschiffe-Abeteilung Nr. 1" which means "Field Airship Unit No. 1 - gun no. 23". But, I am not sure plus I have no written reference to this information. In addition, I was told that "Unit Number One" included the Hindenburg amoung other Zeppelins and Airships.
Thanks for your help, Tony S.
