Yes, I know. Even the big versions of the pics are fuzzy, and the toggle appears to have DWM on it, not a Crown Erfurt. Nor can I see any of the proofs an Erfurt would have on the side plate, etc. What did I miss, gents?

(edit) Oops, I see. Vindication was already at hand... I did triple check before commenting. I have a DWM that was similarly converted, the only difference being it has the 1920 property stamp!
