Hi,

Most of the parts, except the toggle (which is DWM marked) are Erfurt production. The whole pistol has been sandblasted and refinished.

It looks like it was a police pistol at a given time, as it has a sear safety installed.
The breech block shows signs of damage, so personally I wouldn't shoot it, which creates a bit of a dilemma: The refinished, mismatched condition qualifies it as a shooter, but the condition of the breech block could make it unsafe to shoot.

I would get it looked after by a good gun smith, perhaps have another breech block installed and enjoy shooting it. In the Netherlands you should be either registered as a sports shooter, or as a gun collector. Put it on the sports shooting license after doing the necessary fixes to make it safe.
