Erma was civilian owned but certainly a goverment contractor, so there are many Erma made products, which are military.
Erma was founded in 1922 by Berthold Geipel, so does not coincide with the Erfurt Goverment Arsenal, which ceased operations after 1918, nor did it ever make 9mm Lugers.
Erma made K98 and .22 training carbines, P08 .22 conversion units and most famously, the MP40 Submachineguns for the Germans in WW2, along with spares.
After WW2, they began making spare parts for NATO weapons, along with sporting firearms, such as the .22 Lugers we are familiar with. It was sold a couple of times, at one point becoming part of Steyr Mannlicher. They went bankrupt sometime in the mid 1990s, so the name has disappeared as a corporate entity.
1930s and World War 2 era codes for Erma were:
S/27, 27, AX and lastly, AYF, depending on when the product was produced between 1935 and 1945.
Below is a photo of my Erma made MP40.
