Opinions would be welcome. I certainly am not thin skinned about learning I am just a student and appreciate all comments!!
Wayne,
My comment was in error, I was looking at a DWM eagle and registered Erfurt, nothing nefarious, I was just wrong.

Too early or too late and my brain was just not connected to my fingers - hence "brain bubble".

IMO, there are "no" factory errors, and if they are you can not use them to explain a "wrong" pistol.

This one likely lies in the transition from hidden or commercial type numbers to the military style.

Read all the posts, and look for the numbers on the side of the breech block and on the bottom of the middle toggle when you get a chance to look at the piece or ask questions.
