Spied this one in a shop. DWM serial 4032b (commercial style numbering) with no date or stock lug. Imperial mark on left side of barrel, receiver (also 2 proofs), and toggle. Unit marked 107.R.3.1. and had the hold open. Condition was probably 80%+ matching but wood bottomed clip (numbered 3002 with large numbers lengthwise, not across). They were asking $850. Jan, what is the history on this unit?

The 107th Regiment (Saxon) was part of the 24th and 58th Infantrie Divisions during World War I and battled on the Western and Eastern Fronts at the Marne, Flanders, Artois, Russia, Lorraine, Verdun, Champagne, Somme, Russia-Lake Narotch, Houthulst Wood Ypres, Scarpe-Somme.
There are 9 Lugers and 0ne Sauer marked to the 107th Tnfanterie Regiment. During 1918 the 107th Infanterie Regiment battled the British on the Western Front. Most likely these Lugers were captured by the British and eventually made their way to the U.S.
