Inherited 1918 Erfurt with police holster and two mags

Diane, yes to both your questions. The wooden based mags are what would have been made for the piece back in 1918, right? Correct. Originally this pistol came with two wood based magazines numbered to it.

Don is correct. Often these are found in Police service with both types, wood & aluminum. During the Weimar era money was tight and nothing was wasted.



Good that you have a line on your missing magazine..If you get no response you may want to publish the name of the last known owner. It could be that a Member here is familiar with the gentleman and his current contact information.

So since there is no hole, this piece never had a mag safety installed?
