Klaus is correct.

This is not an Erfurt pistol. It is not what we call a matching numbers gun. It is a mismatched re-blued almost complete DWM - with a partial Erfurt toggle. The fact that the toggle train has the same numbers on it as the rest of the gun means nothing.
The frame, barrel/barrel extension, and all small parts are DWM. This gun has been reblued again more recently (after the Police refurb/reissue). Is there a SN stamped behind the rear sight? (there should be but I don't see one).

The matching mag is a nice touch but adds little value to the gun because:
1. the gun is not a complete original.
2. mag has been ground down and renumbered, but probably not by the police.
3. police issue mag should have a 1, 2, or 3 stamped on bottom.

$1100-$1200 is top value, as a nice mostly matching DWM shooter.

Sorry Maestro, it's probably not what you wanted to hear.
