1914 Erfurt Artillery

beachbaker · 11-19-2018, 08:07 PM

I acquired the before mentioned Erfurt Artillery and took a few photos. I have seen few better 1914 Erfurt's as it seems they had a light blueing to begin with and did not wear well. It turns out the surprise for me was he had a 1913 DWM with a matching magazine in about 97% with a screamer of a 1913 holster. I was not looking for one but it was way to nice to pass up so I took both. If people would like to see it as well I will put pictures up tomorrow in the correct forum. The gun is all matching except for magazine which is the correct era Erfurt magazine with 2 proof marks. The gun is 5550 no letter and the magazine is 7430 no letter. As noted the grip screws are the Erfurt proofed ones. The strawing is a little weak but not unexpected for this model and year. Curt
