Unit Marking help

ecaramaschi · 09-08-2009, 09:27 AM

Would anyone know to which unit the marking "B.22.R.11.6" on the front grip strap refers to?

This is a 1913 dated Luger, serial number 2714.

This gun is for sale in my country, but the price is quite high for here...

The unit marking is, Bavarian 22nd Infantry Regiment 11th Company weapon #6.

Thank you!

Ecaramaschi,
YOU MUST BUY IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are only a very few Lugers which are documented in historian dokuments.
This one is listed on the Landau list where 2556 Lugers are enumerated. The 11. Company was part of the 3. Bataillon. You will find YOUR Luger there.
Best regards Klaus
(If the scan is not "big" enough let me know it)

Can you post me a larger scan?

Thank you, I will settle something. How much do you think it worth this luger non reblued with 75% + condition.

I do not have more pictures. I only took this one, when I handled this pistol.

Here is the part which will be of interest for you.
Best regards Klaus

ecaramaschi · 09-08-2009, 06:31 PM

Thank you! I can see the this particular gun.
Sorry for the dummy question, but where the Landau List has been published?

klaus 3338 · 09-11-2009, 12:37 AM

The list was never published. Görtz mentioned the list in his book" Die Pistole 08".

ecaramaschi · 09-13-2009, 11:12 PM

Can you tell me were I can buy a hard copy of the Landau List?

klaus 3338 · 09-14-2009, 02:13 PM

A copy can be ordered from the Kriegsarchiv in München (War archiv in Munich).
Regards Klaus

Klaus,
If the list is not "copy right" material would it be possible to scan and post the list in PDF ?

That is a great idea, because I tried to order it on line but on line orders is not possible.

That´s the thing, I´m sure if the list is with copy right.
I bought the list from the archiv in Munich.
