Charlie Sorrentino, in Auto Mag, has suggested the possibility that 'someone'--no evidence who, not necessarily Simson--finished up and sold guns which were nearly done when Erfurt halted production. He thus explains u suffix 1918 Erfurts, and Erfurts which have surfaced with a 1918/20 chamber date. He suggests that these might be considered 'Weimar Transitional'.
