Grip marking

BigCity · 09-05-2015, 02:06 PM

My 1918/1920 has a grip marking of. 9./J.R.19.30. The 30 is in a smaller font.

Thanks!

It's a Reichswehr marking that indicates 9th Company, Infantry Regiment 19, weapon # 30.

John, my mother taught me to always say "thank you" when someone offered help or assistance.

Can we see some photos?

George,

It is my understanding that the Reichswehr had 7 Divisions with 21 infantry regiments. Was this Luger part of the Bavarian 19th Regiment?

Well, maybe he will come back three years from now and post some photos. Would love to see the unit marks.

Actually Pistol, it is 6 years. Just like keeping you guys in suspense, lol.
Some of the older groups I belong to I just forget to keep up with them once in a while. My apologies.

While commonly called a "Double Date", the 1920 is not a date but a property mark of the Weimar Republic and shows that it was in service with a Weimar military unit during that time. The marking has already been explained but what sets it apart from the Imperial German military markings is the / which wasn't used by the Imperial military. The order of the numbers for company, regiment etc. are also read differently.
