Ed,
Do you or anyone else know if Erfurt made bayonets and Lugers? This won't be in your book because Erfurt stopped making Lugers, and I would assume anything else around 1917 or before. Unless it shows it as being refurbished by Simson or one of the other 20 manufacturers you stated earlier.
The reason I ask is that the bayonet has Imperial proofs on every seperate part, even on the grip screws (actually nuts and bolts) just like Erfurt Lugers. And then refurbished by Simson. Or maybe Simson manufactured it and used the same technique and the same or simular proofs as Erfurt.
Thanks,
Mike C.
