[QUOTE=mrerick;321753]Patrick,
If you look closely at your third and fourth pictures you'll see that there is a groove where the frame's serial number is normally placed.
Compare this to the flat and square appearance of this surface on the ser no. 3 pistol.
It's unusual. Is that seen on other Erfurts of this period?[
NO/QUOTE]
I believe the front of the frame was "faced off" and a new number applied to create a "forced" match. The "130" is offset, and that is also not "normal". JMHO.
