A decent haul - 1916 Erfurt

I guess question one is "have you shot it yet".

Two is "does it function properly"?

The "+" on your side plate's trigger lever has the appearance of Swiss proof marks. The metal grain on the plate itself looks cast to me.

The "P.08" on your holster is not in the correct font. Stitching looks reproduction to me, but others are more expert.

Look at the back of the grips to determine if they are original or repro.

An Erfurt would not be salt blued and would have strawed small parts.

So... if it shoots well that should be a great pistol for you!
