A tired old Soldier…

Welcome to the forum. Your Luger is a piece of history that you can hold in your hand. I think it would look great mounted in a shadow box with its printed history beneath it. I believe that 1918 was the last year Erfurt made Lugers and I would be interested in hearing its story.

Hi Iain, Your Erfurt was modified after WWI for police use (you can see the notch in the left frame for the magazine safety). Apart from that, it looks like it has spent some time in salt water - but I am sure that's part of the story! Regards, Norm
