Default Re: Erfurt-Ari till 1918???

The 1920 is a Reichswehr property stamp rather than a date. All weapons were ordered turned in and the stamp was applied to indicate weapons that were the property of the Reichswehr to positively identify them if stolen and recovered. I believe Jan Still makes note of a G Date (1935) P08 with the 1920 property stamp. Word must have been late getting to the field that the stamp was no longer required.
