Re: Sorry but I like my Erfurts
When you consider that DWM had been turning out commercial as well as military Lugers for several years and had that finishing process as standard, and then you have an arsenal pressed into service to build new weapons from scratch, old Erfurt didn't do too badly. I have a 1912 DWM and a 1912 Erfurt, both in pretty good condition, and side by side they compare favorably. Sure, the Erfurt doesn't have quite as "soft" a finish and the machine marks in the rear frame ramp are a little more conspicuous, but you wouldn't be ashamed to take her to the dance.
