I got a real beauty of a 1913 Erfurt about a month ago. It has a hold open and a stock lug. But the bluing was 95%+ and the bore was too good to be true. I really eyeballed the barrel and its markings for a long time before I decided it was the real thing and that everything was original blue. Matching Mag too. Paid $1100 for it. I think that I got my moneys worth. It goes well with its sister 1912 which is in just as good a shape except for some minor pitting. That one also had a hold open added but no stock lug.
Sometimes a good looking Luger is just like a good looking woman. They just seem to pop up out of the blue when you least expect them.
