I met Kenny yesterday and consumated purchase of his 1917 Erfurt.
Recent history on this gun documented by papers that accompanied it. It was taken by the owner, a Dutchman, with him when he moved from Australia to Holland in 1980. When he died in 2001, it was given by his widow to her brother who lives in Lufkin, Tx. The brother subsequently sold it to Kenny in Feb of this year. The widow does not know how her husband originally aquired the gun.
