Picked up this all matching, including magazine, 1918 Erfurt which seems to be in very good condition. I got it with a 1916 'Ernst Siegemund' holster with a non-matching wood bottom magazine and tool. The tool is not marked, should it be? The holster is a little rough but not too bad. Anyway the gun is pretty nice.
I am wondering about some of the marks on the gun, are the proofs and acceptance on the right hand side of the receiver correct? Also there is a Crown/RC stamp on the right side of the receiver just above the proofs, and on the left upper side of the barrel. I am curious as to the significance of the C/RC. The gun also has a sear safety, is this standard on this year Erfurt or is that something that came about later?
Also am interested in the Crown/?? to the left of the Erfurt monogram and it also shows up on the back toggle link, is this a standard Erfurt proof?
As always, I appreciate any information that you kind folks would care to share with me.
Photos, attached. Also, would be interested in thought on value.
Thanks, barr
