Hello,
On the spring guide from memory: I did not recall ``obvious`` signs of welding even if it looks like it......Just filling marks ( ?? ) in the middle section with a ``whitening`` of the otherwise color casehardened finish........
I find it quite dissapointing to find such ``poorly finished`` parts on a KH . But if we look at a 1918 dated Erfurt we also see ``poorly finished`` parts & machining. Late War is an explanation in itself.....But early production start in this case.......
And if I'm not mistaked, during the P08s production: Erfurt became Simson which later became Krieghoff......
Perhaps a photo comparison of the 3 would show similarities......
John,
Do you want me to send you close up photos of that GESICHERT markings for your documentation.....
