"It's my understanding that Luger collectors consider the Erfurt models to be of the "Garden Variety"
Jeff,

That's actually not the case. There are far fewer Erfurts, than DWMs. Erfurts were only made from 1911-1918, and were all military contract.

Are the trigger, take down lever , saftey lever, etc. blued? In the first two photos the finish looks original. In the third photo the finish looks buffed. We need some good clear close-ups.

At $700 you didn't do too bad. Welcome to the Ward...
