Erfurt Military or Commercial??

Thor,

At your measurement, the barrel is only 1.5mm short of the 100mm standard length. Very close to proper, and one can easily imagine this to be the reason for the Revisions-Commission certification.

If it were me, I'd look very closely for evidence that the date and inspection/proof marks were removed--particularly because the barrel proof eagle still exists. If the Erfurt hallmark is a light stamping, this suggests to me that the gun was refinished at some time.

Is the sear bar relieved?
