Let me reiterate, Erfurt was a government owned and operated arsenal that ONLY made military P.08 pistols under license from DWM to meet the need during WW1.

The Artillery model in the link you have above is a gun that has been extensively refinished commercially. While at some point it may have been surplused by the government of Germany and sold into the civilian market, this is not a commercial Luger, but a refinished military Erfurt Luger.
