1914 mark

This mark is on a 1914 Erfurt artillery. Can anyone suggest what it means? It is unit marked weapon with a "Germany" export mark. Thanks Jim

Jimmie, Is there a unit mark on the grip strap? If so, what is it?

Unit mark..... 142.R.10.5. Thanks. Jim

Jim, I thought maybe the unit mark would have some corrilation to the marks on the barrel, but I can't connect them. Could be an armory rack number? Kind of odd that it's stamped on the barrel though.

The luger is marked "Germany" on the left receiver under the serial number in letters about 1/3 the height of the numbers. Could the FF5150 be and additional import mark. I am unfamiliar with the rack number you speak of. Where are they normally located?
