Well used Erfurt Police with history

Something I hadn't noticed before:

While doing a cleaning round, I found that the firing pin was all original, nicely Erfurt marked with the last 2 digits of the serial. I also saw that it had been modified to the fluted version. The milling marks in the pin are unmistakably made afterwards. Now I know very well that the fluted pins were introduced somewhere in the 1930s, but I never realized that they even modified existing pins.
