Hi guys! I just acquired a 1917 Erfurt. It has pitting and kinda rough. The bluing is there on the right side but all brown patina on the left side. Holster wear? So far 821 is stamped on it. And so far, as far as I know how to tear it down, all parts are "21". Except the right grip which has a "70". Left grip stamped "21" also. Needs a major cleaning! Bore looks fantastic! Magazine is repo, as the one that came with it was butchered up around the mag catch hole. I shot 14 rds thru it with my reloaded ammo. She's a TACK DRIVER! Is it worth cleaning up and refinishing, or leave her like it is? I'm very impressed with how it shoots!
Gave 700.00 for it. Did I get taken here?
Thanks for any info!
Spent my Christmas day playing with, and shooting her.
