I beg to differ with you guys, but the Erfurt logo and the dated chamber, both sure identifying features of a military gun, were almost certainly scrubbed in Germany, by a German. WW1, unlike WW2, ended with an armistice, not a surrender, and many German soldiers simply brought their weapons home with them. In 1920 they were ordered to turn them in to the new Weimar government, and many of these guns were altered in this way to disguise their military origins.
