I was told but he wasnt positive that this unit marking is the Bavarian 5th Heavy Cavalry Regiment gun number 1. Is that correct, thanks in advance

Hi Charles, It's a post WWI unit mark and is outside my field. Perhaps someone with knowledge of this period will help out. However, it is definitely not the mark of a Bavarian Schweres Reiter unit. Regards, Norm
