1914 Erfurt

matthewcstll · 07-17-2006, 01:08 AM

I have a 1914 Erfurt Luger 9mm it has dark brown and black grips that are made of hard plastic. I think that they are balkalite?? Not sure if that is the right way to spell that, but the grips look to be in great shape. No cracks or breaks. All the numbers match even the mag! I have heard that those types of grips are hard to find. I only paid 600. for it, but I took it to an indoor shooting range, and the guy there told me I was nuts for wanting to shoot the gun. He said it was worth about 2000.00, and I should try to take care of it. What is the truth about the plastic grips that I have?? Are they really worth alot of money? If anyone can help me it would be great!!
Thanks,
Matt
