Dwight,

Thanks for the reply. No Erfurt inspection stamp and, yes, I should have said the rear toggle. As well as the crown RC, it has a crown B inspector's mark and the two digit 14 which appears to have been made by the same stamp used on the front toggle and trigger plate. Am trying to figure out just how many re-works this has gone through as starting as an artillery, it then picked up the shorter barrel and rear toggle, then went through Krieghoff where it was double dated and turned over to the Dresden police, and then another re-work where the Krieghoff lazy N's were virtually buffed off of the barrel, right side of the front toggle and breech-block, but left alone on the right side of the receiver and frame with none of the other serials or markings being touched in any way and remaining sharp and clear. Basically looks like someone deliberately tried to remove the Krieghoff connection from the gun and then changed their mind. Other than the S.P.D. of the Dresden police, it has no other police or later Nazi markings. Just trying to put the possible history of this thing together.
