Here is the final story on the Erfurt 1918 I questioned last week--Puchased From Simpson-gun was advertised as 95% blue and 70% straw. This was true-but-he advertises his guns matching and 100% original. Ths gun had a replaced firing pin and a replaced mag release. Also a cracked breechblock. Talked to him on the phone today and it was basically oops-too bad for you-we can't check everything--try again. I'm getting my payment back but am out $45-he charges $30 to ship it but it only cost $15 with insurance to return it--I would not complain except the piece was not matching as advertised-who would be stupid enough to keep it. People talk about how great some of these guys are-I now know two of the major players who will stick it as far up you as you are willing to let them to make a buck. If these are the good guys these days then it's time to switch to fishing. In my world anybody who adverises a gun as 100% original and matching should be man enough to back it up. I have better things to do with $45 than throw it in the air.
