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.

Yes,...the line of the cronies should've been attributed to my Dad, but my Dad's political views were withouth a doubt influenced by his father, and the rest of the family. Like I said before,......I almost ALWAYS have to write a long diatribe, in order to express myself in writing.

"MINT", is in the eyes of beholder,.....look at the posted pictures, and YOU tell me. The pistol has a low round count, the barrel is sound and shiny, and it functions perfectly. No,...it's not "MINT" cosmetically, but it is mechanically.

I did not know that there are people on this forum, that will dissect every word, and call me out on everything I post! Pictures are there, (and I tried to oblige with every request). Since I speak (read and write) few languages (on a daily basis), I sometimes have a problem expressing myself, especially in writing on the Internet.

Now I am just waiting for the "grammar police" to chime in!
