Nice all matching Luger made by DWM in 1916. Pistol is all matching, even the magazine. Which are hard to find matching on Imperial produced Lugers. Pistol overall is in very good condition. A lot nicer than normally seen. Bore is also mint. 1918 holster with Imperial proofed loading tool and a mismatched spare magazine.

That's a beautiful Imperial luger, I'd love to pick up a rig like that but I really need to pick up some Luger reference books before I dive down the Luger rabbit hole. Congrats on getting a nice one!

Yes and XI is also the Corps number of that clothing office. A check of the XI corps wartime activities, post 1915/16 would reveal a general and possible usage area of this Luger or at least the holster
 
To be more clear the BA XI is the clothing office of the XI corps not XI Army. I mis read the earlier comment to assume the question was that this was an Army clothing office which it was but not for the XI Army. The XI corps was under several different Armies at different times during the war and spent a lot of the war in the East. By sometime close to 1918 they were in the VI army. I have no information that the XI corps was at Verdun. In the West it appears they mainly fought against British and Canadian forces.
