Looks like a nice Erfurt, but

A friend was out on the range yesterday shooting his Desert Eagle when he noticed an old acquantance of his banging away with this 1916 Erfurt. In short order, the person shooting the Luger approached my friend to renew an old friendship. During the conversation, he asked him if he might know of anyone who would be interested in purchasing his Luger. Well fortunately for me, I was first on his list and he called me that night and told me the story. I was able to "borrow" the Luger and present it to the forum for evaluation. It is in really good condition in my opinion. The only one problem I see is the number stamped on the breechblock seems to be over-stamped. It appears as though there was a "30" then it was stamped with a "10" or possibly or some other number. Can anyone shed any light on this situation? The only other problem I see is there are two magazine, both of which are incorrect. One is a black widow fxo and the other is an aluminum bottom with an eagle 63 proof. If I do purchase this Luger, I would like to swap either one of these for a NICE Erfurt magazine. If any other comments are in order, please don't hesitate to make them. Thanks again for the all the help in the past, Mike.
