This is a nice looking Luger, but has one major flaw (at least). If you can look it over and tell me what it is?

<blockquote>quote:<hr />This auction is for a 1938 Erfurt Luger. It has been in my family possession for many years, yet I don't know for a fact if it saw any action during WWII.

Included is a leather holster which I believe to be original, (Note: The strap that closes the holster is broken) a spare clip and tool in holster pocket.

The number "46" appears in at least 4 places. I understand this to mean matching parts. There are normal wear marks on the bluing, and a small mark on the right side barrel. Generally this Luger is in a shiny state.

There are several military proofs on the gun. According to Lugerforum.com they are German military related.<hr /></blockquote>
