1918 Erfurt Book
 
Being new to this hobby and owning just (1) P08, What is the best book I should start with to cover details and history on a 1918 Erfurt?

I am sure you guy's have read many( some good/some bad)
Appreciate you experience.

Thanks Mike

Try reading recomendations in the New Collectors area, might help a lot.


My number 1 pick would be Imperial Lugers by Jan Still (out of print), 2nd would be the Luger Story by Walters.

Ed,
Thanks again....I'll take a look. (looking at some prices of them...I may take a trip to the NY library)

I see you have written a book! Nice.

The new book "Central Powers Pistols" contains more information on Erfurt Lugers than any other book including "Imperial Lugers". The 1918 Erfurt is covered in word and with high quality color photographs on pages 79, 97 and 98.

Thanks guys..............I did not realize you both were Authors and Historians!

If I pick a book up, I won't post which one...........I would not want to slight either of you...lol


Thanks again

For your case, buy Jan's, Central Powers is available direct from him.
