I wonder. RE: Crown over RC. According to the Gortz and Bryans book on "Small Arms Markings" the Crown over RC (Revisions Kommission) indicates the size of an individual part was not according to design. However, the part functioned normally. Once the pistol was assembled and functioned normally with the Crown RC stamp of approval on the individual part/parts (no rework) The pistol left the Erfurt factory. Mostly found on Erfurt Imperial Lugers. Just a thought - DWM had a commercial sales division, Erfurt didn't. When DWM parts were rejected they went to Commercial Sales (no Government standards, if it shoot, sell it) . No need for a Crown over RC. Erfurt had no Commercial sales division and was a Government owned facility (to my knowledge). What happens to the "out of round parts" Crown RC??? Sound familier, kinda like "low bid".
