With respect to what type of Erfurt I am looking for, I want the non-arty model.

I think the regualer 4in ( 100mm ) is the quintisential, definitive Luger: no slight to arty model enthusiasts, that is just my humble opinion.

Growing up I remember from the movies German officers always with a "regular" Luger, so that is what is ingrained in my mind as the "proper" one.

Actually, I had not even known that there was an arty model. At first I thought someone had modified the thing.

Now I know that there is a strong following for the arty model and they are rare and highly collectable; but, I am still a "regular" Luger kinda guy.

Richard.
