1933 Erfurt

[Lugerdoc]

Due to the lack of full military inspection markings on the right receiver, I believe that this was built up from left over unused WW1 parts (perhaps by Mauser, if that's an E/63 inspecion stamp that I see) in 1933 as a military special contract for either the KI or KL depending on which theory you want to accept.

Is there any sign that the surface beneath the date has been taken down a bit? Contour followed and smooth? Any faint printing underneath the date?

It does not look to have been ground down. The contour looks correct. No sign of printing underneath the date.

Does that support the built from left-over parts in 1933 theory?

The tangent sight notch looks very shallow and narrow as it would if material had been taken off the top of the chamber.
