A guest at the last Ohio Gun Collectors show is trying to compile a little history on a Luger his father brought back from WWII. He did not have it with him (THOU SHALT NOT CARRY GUNS AS A NONMEMBER) but we have been working it out via emails. The front grip strap is marked 14.H.. I think that would indicate the 14th Hussar Regiment.
I guess I've got a couple of questions. First is a dumb one...... What were the Hussars or what did they do??? I guess I should know that but don't and haven't been able to find anything in any of my books.
Secondly, if anybody has any history on that unit this fellow would sure appreciate it. He is going to pass it on to his son. I suggested he might want to consider a certain IMPERIAL LUGER book to go along with his treasure.
