Erfurt 1917

[ratzo]

A 1917 Erfurt 80 to 90 percent on the blue, matching numbers including the Mag also comes with a Holster and tool, the problem is that someone ground off the part that holds the Board or Stock. This was relayed to me by a Doctor who stated that his Dad came home with the Gun after the War and it was put away, and that was the end of it until his Father passed away and he started cleaning out the house found the gun in the holster and just wanted to get Rid of it, it was told to me by another that the part of the Gun that was ground off must have been done in Germany sometime during the War Time . A friend of mine said the only reason he could think of was that with a Large hand the notch may have been in his way when holding the luger. I can get this Gun for $400.00 dollars, my question is it worth it. My friend has a luger that he wants repaired and he said it is worth it or more. I cannot hold off much longer, I know how to register now with the police. I am Not a collector but would like a peace of History to pass down to my Grandson, but I also do Not want a paperweight. I prefere the Opinions of people on this Sight.
Thanks
