Matt,

Very enlightening. The Erfurt misstamp certainly appears to be an authentic mistake.

The Artillery sight notch is as expected on a 1918 Erfurt. An instruction from the German army required this on late Erfurt production, even though Erfurt only produced LP-08 in 1914.

It would be interesting to see pictures of the entire gun, and closeups of the markings. Barrel markings are of particular interest.
