Erfurt 1916
Hello,
I have just aquired an Erfurt Luger. Of course almost anyone can pickout a Luger from a line-up of hand guns. But I am new and intrigued by these handguns and the many varieties. I would appreciate any info I could get on mine. It is dated 1916 with the crown on top. I cant make out all of the 4 proofmarks but there is a bird at the end.The serial number ends with 88 and all the numbers match. Unfortunately it has been rebarreled with a 16 in. carbine type barrel. What a heartbreaker. I am not looking to restore this piece for purposes of selling or as some sort of priceless heirloom. I would however like to restore it with the proper barrel and to keep it as a fine shooter. Any suggestions and/or info?
Thanks, Ashby Snow
