Got this one coming in to TLSS in very poor condition! Owner says Grandpa gave it to him and it he owned it since 1942.

Thor,
* Every right to be both excited & sceptical. Only 2 reported and they are both 2 digit S/N'd.
* Jan Still has identified a difference in the proof eagle from later 1911 Erfurts. The 1910 DWM's would be "b" block or later & have the DWM style proof as you know.
* Keep us posted.
Thanks,
Bob

This is exciting news Thor! Can't wait to see the "before" photographs...

Thor,

Charles Kenyon and Jan Still have both published forensic analyses of 1910 Erfurts. Are you familiar with them?

Not really, I remember a NAPCA article a few years back.
