Specifically what was less well finished? Deeper tool marks, lesser final polish, ill fitting parts/grips, spotty bluing?

Maybe we should be comparing the early vs. the late Erfurts?

Thanks again.

Yes, more tool marks less polish. Ill fitting parts won't work. Grips ?
Bluing may actually be better than the earlier pieces.

Generalizing is always dangerous, as I said, it depends more on the particular examples being compared.
