Interesting gun. You were told correctly...Erfurt did not produce a 6" barrel Luger. The barrel on this gun probably is not numbered, but if it is it is a "force match" to the gun. Is the serial number on the front of the frame the same as shown on the receiver?
The gun is a rework, and curiously there is what appears to be a Vickers inspection stamp on the left frame rail. It could also be an Erfurt stamp but it looks a bit small for that.
