In summary, here are the relative populations of the three kinds of 1913 Erfurts:

Current population range of distinct variations (assuming 23,000 guns total):

> No stock lug, none or added hold open - 8,835 to 10,372 guns
> No stock lug, hold open from factory - 4,545 to 6,773 guns
> Stock lug and hold open from factory - 7,392 to 8,082 guns

By a fairly narrow margin, those with no stock lug and a factory hold open are the least common.

If you have other examples of 1913 Erfurts, I would love to add them to the list, especially those which help narrow down the serial number ranges of the transition points from one variation to the other.
It was DWM and not Erfurt in this topic
