Default This Blueprint extract is dated 1913

(see the white rectangle inset) I am sure it is the same print that Hugh has, only I have reversed the image color for better readability. The print appears to give the trigger the shape we are used to seeing on WW2 Lugers, but the profile shape of my 1914 Erfurt Artillery Trigger is much thinner as seen in the photo I have linked below. Click on the link and you will see the 1914 trigger compared with a 1941 Mauser trigger from my byf 41.


Does anyone have any other blueprints other than the dated one I have shown? How do the dimensions compare to the 1913 print?


Please notice that it is not apparent in any of the views of what the dimensions are for the profile of the trigger from the a------b section line to the trigger tip. This is the non-critical area to which I was referring...
