Absolutely fabulous Swiss 1900! Thanks Jean-Marie for sharing the pictures with all of us. I am also interested in the "1914" Erfurt. At one time I owned a similar 1914 Erfurt serialed in the "q" suffix. I later learned that Erfurt made only 7000 (Still) 4" lugers that year. They are characterized by: no suffix, no notch on the chamber for the artillery sight, an unrelieved sear bar and two proof marks on the magazine bottom. My "1914" turned out to be actually a 1917 or 1918 piece with a 1914 dated receiver. Your photos seem to also be a later Erfurt with a 1914 dated receiver. I would like to know what the serial number and suffix, if any, are.
