Hi all,
I have been trying to figure out this unit marking: L.C.X.
It is located on the buttplate of a German converted Chassepot.
The rifle after conversion is sometimes referred to as:
Aptierter Chassepot-Karabiner M/71.
I have scoured Jeff Nolls book The Imperial German Regimental Marking but can find no real leads.
Any thoughts others may have are certainly welcome.
According to Nolls the L could be
Land-Gendarmerie
Lehr
Landwehr
Landsturm
Luft (given the time frame I don't think this would apply, but it could)
I did find a unit marking in Nolls: L.B.x which is listed as being Landwehr-Batterie des x Armeekorps.
But I can find nothing with C as the second part of the marking.
thanks for your thoughts...
