Identification of various regements and their histories

Some where there must be such a reference! I'm am collecting ww1 regiment marked lugers. Such a reference would be helpful to identify the individual lugers' history which I try to bring back to life. Every luger has a story and history of its various owners. Maybe dying in their hands! We ourselves become another chapter in its' life. I love this stuff! Eric Esq~~~

"The Imperial Regimental Marking" by Jeff Noll is one. I understand it is out of print now.

As for any book with histories of every unit, there might be one that attempts to include some units but I found the internet to have the best references and it's cheaper too. One reference can lead to another.

Hi Eric, The book you are looking for is: "HISTORIES OF TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY-ONE DIVISIONS OF THE GERMAN ARMY WHICH PARTICIPATED IN THE WAR (1914-1918)", by the United States. Army. American Expeditionary Forces General Staff, G-2
My copy is a reprint from the Cornell University Library Digital Collections. You can get it from Amazon for about $30.00, a real bargain for a 750 page book.
Regards, Norm
