Hello George,
I cannot make it quite out on your old long barrel, but it looks like the original rear toggle sight was still there...(?)...
Hello Dwight,
On a fast read of your original post; one could carelessly go away reading too fast and assume the 1912 Erfurts were LP-08's...when they were only P-08's. Erfurt LP-08's did not appear until 1914 and no others from Erfurt (except a controversial 1915 Erfurt LP-08 and a 1917 Erfurt LP-08...).
Just thought we might want to clarify this point...
Regards,
Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
