Ron,
Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, I can't see the numbers well enough either, even with a magnifying glass. Interesting that only .5% of Erfurt 1917s had unit markings.
Here's a loaded question--I picked this up as an upper-end shooter, rough finish, etc., but would it qualify as a lower-end collectable? Not easy to answer, but given the unit markings, all-matching (noting the problem with getting the numbers off the firing pin) to include the grips, but of course no matching magazines or holster, would it be considered collectable?
Thanks for your help in all this.
Bill
