Hi Douglas, I think both you and Ron are correct. Once Erfurt switched their machinery over to notched receivers they kept making them that way until the end of production in 1918. However, they evidently had a lot of un-notched receivers in stock, and a lot of them show up dated 1916 (there were no 1915 dated Erfurts produced). Regards, Norm

I stand corrected.
My apologies to Ron!
