Unit Marking: S.H. 578

Brownie · 09-01-2006, 11:31 AM

As the heading says, the unit marking is: S.H.578. Found on my 1914 Erfurt w/sear and mag safeties. This pistol also has the much discussed scripted "W" on the bottom of the trigger guard. Need help on the unit marking.

Thanks, Brownie

Brownie,

I'm developing a database of police unit marked pistols and would appreciate knowing the serial number and letter suffix (if any) of this pistol. Thanks very much.

Sure Don. Always glad to help the cause. The serial number is 3797. No suffix.

Later, Brownie
