Double unit marked Erfurt

photo-war · 05-31-2015, 03:01 AM

Hello forum members! What will be thoughts on this marking found on Erfurt P.08.

S.C.I. 2. 17
S.Ka.I. 113

My only guess that "S" stands for Sächsische or Sanitats, but what about the rest of markings? Your help will be appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Alexander

Alexander:

Don't believe that the "S" stands for Sächisiche or Sanitats.

Rather, believe these markings are consistent with the Prussian Police (Schutzpolizei) Markings, 1922 Instruction. Think the first marking that was "x-out" indicates this Luger was from the Kassel Municipal Police District (#23). Your Luger later came under the control of the Köslin Municipal Police District (#6), waffe number 113.

Hopefully, others will respond confirming/correcting my interpretation and/or adding additional information.

You have a handsome piece of history, congrats.

I made this same reply on your other thread on this Luger:

Pretty cool pistol.
The S.C. is the Schupo of Cassel, the S.Ka. is the Schupo of Kassel(after spelling of the town name changed!).

Very neat transition on one piece. If you decide not to get it, let me know. I have another
Luger property number 113, I could start a sub-really speciality collection if I had two!
