Just an aside but Erfurt followed military directives concerning the inspection stamps on various small parts. DWM, OTOH, didn't follow military directives and only inspection stamped the parts they deemed necessary. To me, it makes the Erfurt Lugers more appealing. I'm sure others admire the DWM pistols for the lack of markings.
