Naval Unit Marking

Jasper71 · 01-15-2008, 10:02 PM

I have a 1935 G date that matches including the mags sn 4769d .The unit marking is O.1685 I understand that is Ostsee but is there a possability that anyone would know what unit? This was given to me by my wifes grandfather (an army major ) he was incharge of a hospital in I think Italy. It seems a nurse came running to the major saying the german officer has a pistol under his pillow and will not surrender it to anyone unless they are of equal or higher rank. He gave it on to me about 1 yr before he passed away . Any info would be greatly appreacated .
