Not so with Erfurt, which notched every pistol frame, after a point, regardless of its final original configuration. Isn't it the case that some reference to what production data is avaliable can result in finding serials numbers within a range of those produced, of what configuration?

Sorry to bear bad news, but any major mechanical modification negates the C&R status. I wouldn't even want to argue about a refinish.
