I have a "commercial" Erfurt that was converted to 7.65mm after the war. The barrel was changed and the date was removed from the chamber. It was nicely done. The receiver is notched and it's either a 1916, 1917 or 1918 military Erfurt. The serial number, 9619i (the "i" is undotted) is much too high to be a 1914 Artillery. All parts except the mag and replacement barrel are matching and the pistol is a fine shooting gun. The barrel is unmarked except for the import markings.
