Hi Charlie,
With your gun's connection to both your grandfather and your father; if she were mine...it would be the top gun in my collection.
Erfurt parts show up on e-Bay from time to time. I remember a couple of Erfurt lugers "parted out" this year alone.
You might get lucky and find a TD lever, Erfurt proofed, but probably with different 2-digit numbers if you keep an eye on e-Bay from time to time. Keep you original part as well...
LF member, LugerDoc (aka Tom Heller) might have a TD lever; he is a great guy and the largest luger parts seller in the USA...maybe send him an email :
hellerarms@webtv.net
I was wondering if there was enough length left of the modified TD lever to hold the trigger side plate in place when shooting...sounds like there is.
Nice luger...thanks for sharing it with us !
Regards,
Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
