Erfurt 1918

[spacecoast]

My grandfather (paternal) was a high ranking officer in the Imperial Germany, and never had any likes for Hitler, and his cronies (KIA in 1915)

Did Hitler have "cronies" in 1915?

Same with this Parabellum I was given. Original finish is WORN, straw is disappearing, it has few thousand (maybe more) rounds down the barrel, .....so what's the harm?

But I thought in your first post you said it was MINT?

This past X-mas, a family friend showed up with a present! 1918 Erfurt in MINT condition, with two mags (one matched, one mismatched), and the original holster, with loading tool.
