I have a 1917 Artillary in apprx. 80% with all matching numbers. My question: Will someone please identify the following (regimental?) markings on the grip frame below the trigger? H.J.R. 72.5.25.

Thank you

Ron,

Are you sure the H is not a J? If it is a J the gripstrap markings would be 72nd Reserve Infantry Regiment, 5th

Company, weapon number 25.
