It’s not just refinished, but a total mismatch as well. Erfurt did not make any P.08s in 1915 but someone has mated an “82” marked Erfurt toggle train to a DWM cannon. The British proofs were placed by Birmingham (? unclear photo/mark) for the commercial market.

Interesting. I have seen other similarly marked 1915 Erfurts on the net. There are no other British proofs that I could see other than the barrel marking.
I saw one just like it on Simpson's, but yes, most likely a combo. Last edited by Dave Sanders; 06-27-2024 at 10:50 PM. |

At some point your Luger was summitted to a British proof house for proofing, possibly due to repairs. Always interesting but not uncommon. |
