My 1st P.08, a 1914 Erfurt

drbuster · 08-14-2005, 01:02 AM

Dear John, the pieces with these characteristics I have examined have not had matching grips, except one with dark inked numbers. I just don't know why or where these are coming from. Could there have been a batch of unused 1914 dated receivers that Erfurt came upon in their frenzy to get more handguns out into the field in 1917-18? But then why are so many of them appearing here and now? The ones I have seen, or owned, are well used and have no grip screw proofs. The prices on these, in my opinion, should be in the shooter range.
