Here is a 1914 LPO8 Erfurt with unit markings. According to noted Luger book author Jan C Still he estimates that only 2% of all 1914 artillery Erfurts were unit marked. And with a total production estimate of 23,000 LPO8 Erfurts. One must realise that means their are not to many unit marked LPO8 Erfurt's out their. This one is the only one I have had my hands on.

That's great, I was going to research it for you, but have been unpacking from the MAX. A good unit history like that really helps the weapon's value and of course your pride of ownership - congratulations again
