Help With Unit ID

pipercasey · 11-17-2011, 05:47 PM

I inherited my uncle's WWII luger brought home from N. Africa or Anzio Beach landing. He was at both. He got several guns out of a german truck seat when they overrun them. The luger has some parts that are not matching. The original unit numbers are stamped on the front strap but are X'ed out. They were: S.Mg.H.616. I have figured this out to be Signal Corpe, Machine Gunner, Hussars(Cavalry), gun issue number 616. New numbers were stamped in to the front strap just ahead of the X'ed out numbers. They are: 0.H1.35. The listing I have does not contain an O or 0. It also in in a black holster that has the same new number stamped on the back and says Robert Larsen, Berlin 1935. Any help will be appreciated. I am new on the forum.
