Model 1914 Pistol / Markings Help with 1914 Mauser
« on: December 01, 2014, 12:00:47 PM »
My dad is clearing out some items and found and gave to me this Mauser 7.65. Doing a little online research, it appears to be a 1914 Mauser number 214408.
I am trying to figure out the stamping on the grip below the trigger. It was marked S.D. IV which is X'd out and now has K.D. 117. There was a thread that linked to Old German Military/Police markings http://oldmilitarymarkings.com/police_unit_marks.html , I found S.D which I think is a Prussian Police, Duesseldorf District. I can't figure out the K.D 117.
Any help with the markings? Thanks!
