Good going Mike. This one I can believe. The one on Gunbroker had an Erfurt toggle train, and there is no way that it was a legitimate 1915 Erfurt arty. I agree with Dwight's assessment that the Erfurt proof on the receiver does not represent a problem. It is one of those anomalies that hasn't been recognized before now. It will be interesting to see what Ron's (Mauser 720) serial number turns out to be. If it is around 71xxa, we have a very real possibility that Dwight is correct about the run of Erfurt proofs on DWM artys in this range.
