Hello,

would this magazine ( nickel plated ) be correct for a 1914 Erfurt Arty ? Appreciate any feedback.

Hi Guenter, The base you show would be correct for a 1914 Erfurt Artillery. I would have to see photos of the magazine tube to see if it is correct also. Regards, Norm

Hi Norm,

Thank you for you reply. I attached an other photo ( not very good )
I am contemplating buying this clip for my Erfurt . The selller is asking $ 230 . Is this price ok ? The magazine is in excellent condition . Does the " + " mean it was a spare mag ?

Hi Guenter, I can't see much from your photo. What I'm looking for is the shape of the indent near the follower button, rectangular on Erfurt's and crescent shaped on DWM's. The plus denotes the spare magazine, Artilleries were issued with two spares. $230.00 isn't cheap, but early (pre 1916) Erfurt mags are hard to find. If the tube is correct, I'd go for it. Regards, Norm

Norme,

just checked the magazine (ebay) and the tube indent is not cresent shaped which means an Erfurt.

Thank you for your help.
