E Williams Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) M-95 Pickelhaube, shoulder boards to a Capt 2nd Bavarian Trains Bn, assorted awards. Luger is not unit marked to a Bavarian unit. It is a 1917 Erfurt, re-conditioned, sear safety added and issued to Schupo Berlin during the Weimar days. I'm presently searching for a Bavarian MG unit marked Luger. Edited September 23, 2013 by E Williams

E Williams Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) Hi, is the Haube marked? Unfortunately the Bavarian is not.......... Edited September 23, 2013 by E Williams
E Williams Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 The PO-8 holster is pre-war, circ 1910....................
E Williams Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 Badisches Lieb-Dragoon Regt 20 Peaked Cap named to a Lt Guilini. He survived the war and is documented as having been awarded the Order of the Zahringen Lion, 2nd Class with Swords. Luger is a 1910 DWM, unit marked to the 142 R.M.G.77 which was part of the 29th Inf Div, Baden.
E Williams Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 Very nice...... Thankyou..................

Chris Boonzaier Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Really very sexy... If you have some time, can you do close ups in seperate threads? Not only the Lugers,but the other stuff as well :-)

Not only the Lugers,but the other stuff as well :-) I sure will Chris.....................Where would be the best forum to post individual photos of the Lugers?
Chris Boonzaier Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 I sure will Chris.....................Where would be the best forum to post individual photos of the Lugers? Right here is good :-)
Bernhard H.Holst Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Hello: What a very, very nice collection and presentation. Bernhard H. Holst
E Williams Posted September 24, 2013 Author Posted September 24, 2013 Hello: What a very, very nice collection and presentation. Bernhard H. Holst Thank you Bernhard....there are so many nice collections here by the members that I've enjoyed myself looking at.
Chip Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Very nice items! I have a few Luger holsters, but have never owned anything but a Reichsrevolver. Would love a nice Luger. I'm curious about your identification of the Bavarian officer's boards. What do you base that on? What color is the underlay? I would have thought that a Train unit would have Arabic numbers and a blue underlay. Chip
