Need help with a unit mark

wayne8661 · 08-23-2012, 10:51 PM

I was contacted today with an opportunity to purchase a relatively nice 1910 DWM with this strap marking. I am curious of what the T.L means.

Thanks for your help

Train-Battaillon 13, Lazarett 12, Waffe Nr. 10. It's a rare mark.
Regards, Norm

How rare of a mark is this ? Wish me luck I am attempting to work a deal for the piece. I hope it will soon be mine.

Any input on the rarity of the mark and its effect on value?

Jeff Noll has two listed in his book. Interesting both are 1910 DWM's to the same Regiment as yours. 13.T.L.4.2 and 13.T.L.9.11.
