I have my first Erfurt!!!
Saturday, at the Eastman Gunshow in Norcross, GA, I met up with a collector from whom I purchased a 1913 Erfurt.
Details:
1) 1913
2) SN: 1229 -no letters
3) LHS frame: The 3 Gothic letters topped by crowns are: D U Y --I've not been able to get info on what this means.
4) All of the proof marks are present inside and out.
4) All matching numbers -inside and out.
5) Mag does not match but is period correct.
6) Grips do match and screews are stamped.
7) Barrel bore is pristine.
1) minor repair to the underside of the rail on the RHS.
I have tried to capture this in one of the pics. Just look under the rail around the trigger area: a solderd repair.
2) there is a discoloration in the metal on the LHS touching the top of the "1" in the SN --NorthWest of the "1".
I paid $1100.00.

Richard
