Erfurt Unit Markings

JMKLUGER · 12-06-2013, 05:17 PM

I have a 1918 Erfurt pistol with what I believe are unit markings on the grip frame. The markings are R.169.6.35. Can someone decipher these markings?

Gary....thanks for the quick response! I bought this Luger from Ralph Shattuck back in 1976 and now I finally know what these markings mean.
