My 1916 issue
My new 1916 Luger. I received it as a gift a week ago.
It appears to be in generally good condition. I just need to give it a good cleaning and it should shine.
The story behind it is apparently my buddy's uncle was in the 101st Airborne and was one of the first guys into the Eagle's Nest and that is where he picked it up.
On a related topic does anyone know what the word is printed below the Kaiser's crown? It appears to say Erfurt. Anyone know what that means? Or is it just referring to the German city? Perhaps where it was produced?
