Default Erfurt; not my favorite, BUT

I have always regarded an Erfurt as a less desirable Luger. The ones I have had in the past were rather poor in fit and finish. Not surprising, since the Erfurt arsenal was government owned. I guess the Germany balance of trade was such, they did not need to have China or Japan manufacture their goods as "some" countries do today.
With all that said, when the opportunity arose to buy this 1911 Erfurt with a matched mag and a finish not commonly found on Erfurt Lugers, I found it hard to pass this one up. Just the fact it is a 1911 is enticing. Add a matched mag and correct grip screws and a nice looking Luger to the mix, I just had to jump in. Here are a few pictures for your review.

Thanks,
Mike
