The Artillery is an Erfurt. It is doubtful that any of the magazines match the gun, but certainly the aluminum based WWII magazines would not match unless they were "forced". The gun overall isn't too bad and it has the "fine tuned" front and rear sights (which is proper for a 1914). If it had a properly marked toggle, it would be a good buy. The double mag pouch, if original, is worth a bit, plus the magazines have some value. I think your current bid is OK, but shouldn't go too much higher. I don't know if you can make the reserve bid and still get your money's worth, but it isn't a bad looking artillery, just don't let your emotions override your pocketbook.
