Need to know what the unit marking means on my 1921 Weimer Army luger. Its marked on the front grip strap and the rear frame above the lanyard loop. ( 4./F.4.49. ) My book says the "F" stands for fureur or leader , Anybody know what it really means? Regards Dave Gill

Dave,

4./F.4.49 translates to Company 4 / Fahr - Abteilung (Driving Detachment) Battalion 4 weapon #49. A light vehicle driving detachment.

Kraft-Fahr is a heavy vehicle or Truck Driving detachment.
