Erfurt and auction question
 

Looking at a real nice 1918 Erfurt-has Erfurt stamps all over it like most-including ejector--NO markings on firing pin or mag release-they appear to have been on the gun a long time.--Is this right for an Erfurt?


My compatriots on the SF Teamhouse list are discussing this

gunbroker item--smells bad-- Item #3034059


Appreciate comments on Erfurt

You did not mention serial number on the firing pin, but both parts in question should be marked with the inspection stamp.

Mike, the pictures are of a poor quality, no details on the weapon. The tale is interesting, I wonder if it can be authenticated.

Re: gunbroker #3034059....with the evil [BS] story about 'band of brothers'..


The gun sounds like just another .30 cal. postwar 'Germany' marked 1920 com'l with a story to enhance the value.


The letter "don't mean nothin'"......as we used to say in the first platoon of the 712th Engineers !


Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?

There are no marks of any kind on the firing pin or the mag release. Uh-Oh-just took a look with the old loupe--the breech block is cracked-guess this goes back tomorrow.


This is the third mail order piece I have gotten this year from two major players that had things wrong with them.


Got a real nice DWM 1918 rig with a beautiful brown holster from out west with two fake magazine bottoms and a renumbered takedown lever plus a fake tool. Bought as original--Also a nice and expensive 1937 S42 rig with touched up finish and a post war xtra mag. Some of these guys will gladly take these back--trick is you have to be able to catch the mistakes--This is dirty pool to me.


Got two guns from Tom Heller-no complaints.

You get all this crap from these guys, and then you get stuck with all the freight because they lie about the item. Bull!!!
