Although many artillery lugers and navy were shortened to 4 inches, this did not always happen.

By the way, I have a double date Erfurt Artillery 1920 over 1914 so there are a few of them out there. This one came in for restoration and has unit marking on the grip strap. I made a post about them in the UNIT MARKINGS section.
