Survival rate:DWM vs. Erfurt

[Johnny Peppers]

DWM was not in the business of selling pistols with someone elses name on them. Supposedly the so called 1920 Commercial was a mix of new and used parts, and it would have been easy enough for DWM to remove the original Erfurt marking and apply their own logo. The only 1920 Commercial that I have seen with proof that used parts were actually used was a late 70,000 pistol with an r suffix. The suffix was very light and was the remnant of the original serial number of the frame.

The late 70,000 number would have been used shortly after DWM went back into commercial production after WWI.
