exactly right, I asked them to send me a picture of the top of the receiver , turns out the "21" is the last two digits in the serial number that we are all familiar with on the toggle etc. the actual date on the receiver or cannon ring is 1914 !! someone at the auction house having a "senior" moment !

So it appears to be a nice original 1914 Erfurt with about 70% of the original finish. so I'm going to put in a bid -- wish me luck.

actually I have picked out 3 of the best lugers in the auction and am going to bid on them all !! hopefully I will get one or two. if I get them all I will be out a few thousand dollars and in for a heap of paperwork !!
