An Erfurt from 1912.

Is that a Crown/RC on the rear toggle link?

Yes. In the forward link too. Erfurts were noted for lots of revision commission marks.

Note, that since it is an early production gun, the Erfurt crown is still intact.

Thanks for clarifying the C/RC stamps. I know that Erfurt C/RC marks are common, I'm a bit surprised to see them on a pre-war Luger when there wasn't the pressure of war time production. My earliest Erfurts are a pair of 1914 Artillery models.
