If the magazine is an original wood bottom, then that has value. Other collectors are always trying to match their Lugers to the original. Erfurt bluing never was that great so 60% might be good. Is there any pitting on the gun? Erfurts were never made with a grip saftey. If the grips are well worn but numbered to the gun (two digit and sometimes hard to read) then they could be recheckered. If the magazine is original then never shoot the gun with that magazine, use a repro for shooting for reasons stated above.
