1912 Erfurt Luger

Also looks original to me. With your TD lever "Collins repaired" and a nice orig double marked Erfurt wood bottom mag, assuming that the grips have the matching serials inside, it could be worth up to twice what you paid, when you sell also include the sales price of the WW2 mag. TH

I agree with Ron Wood- I don't think the pistol has been refinished. I'm looking at the halo around the bore gage, the hold-open pin (just aged) and the end mill marks left inside the frame "ears". These are all good indicators.
Concerning the broken take-down lever - if it were my pistol I would leave it alone and begin a search for an Erfurt replacement with matching number (Tom Heller in the above post sells Luger parts - also Phil Siacaccio in Afton, VA - sorry, no number). However, if you wish to have it repaired, that's your choice. Just pick someone who can do the job right.
Nice score - great price. It's way more than just a shooter.
