Erfurt Photo Request

JohnF · 03-15-2003, 11:23 AM

Could someone please be kind enough to post a close-up photo of the front toggle train of an Erfurt P.08. Preferably from above and the left hand side. I'm restoring a very poor condition 1912 Erfurt - well trying to - but the toggle train is at least partly from a Mauser code 42. Everything else is rusty but matching. I don't have another Erfurt and would like to see how an Erfurt extractor and the front toggle section are marked.
Finally, for the suspicious minds out there - this won't be appearing for sale later as another "mint condition" piece for two reasons.

1) I like to think that I'm honest.
2) This piece is a dewat and has no collector value. I'm just doing this for my own education and pleasure.

Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
John
