Erfurt police rework question
 
Hello guys
I just bought a double stamped Erfurt Luger 1918 1920 ser# 7996d on the grip strap it has S ME II R 31 .640 the R AND 31 are X'd out. Anyone know the meaning of this?

Thanks

It sounds like a military luger that went into the police.

Pictures would solve the question most likely, full right, full left and of the gripstrap.

The grip strap stamps are from the Schutzpolizei command located in the city of Weißenfelds in the Prussian administrative district of Merseburg. The initial police marking was S.Me.II.R.31.signifying it was P08 #31 of the precinct police (Revierpolizei) of this city. It dates from the early 1920s. In 1932, the marking format for Schupo weapons was changed and the marking on this gun was changed to S.Me.II.640. A virtually identical marking is illustrated in Fig. 10-6 of HWIS.

I, too, would be interested in seeing photos of this gun. I expect that it has or had a sear safety and mag safety since it was a precinct police weapon.

nice, decent Erfurt

The sear safety is missing, which is a shame, you can find them, but they are not too easy to find

The 1920 would have been applied around the 1920 time period (not a true date, but a gov't stamping)

Ed thanks for moving it.......what would this Erfurt be worth?

It is not a real Erfurt. The receiver came from a 1917 or 18 dated DWM LP08.
