I have a 1913 Erfurt that has really thick grip panels. It''s the only Erfurt I have, so I don't know if it is a characteristic of the earlier Erfurts or if it is unique to that gun. The grips are squared off on the edges and also bulge out more in the middle than any DWM I've seen. They are numbered and original to the gun.
