Erfurt Crown (Broken Stamp)
Alf,
This photo, even though the stamp is filled with white, perfectly illustrates the broken Erfurt Crown toggle stamp. This is most commonly observed on Erfurt Lugers. Some early Erfurt Lugers have recently been observed (by me) that must have been produced before this stamp broke. I have seen 1914 dated Erfurts with the broken crown stamp, so the break must have occured early in Erfurt production.

John,
I have one that looks identical to the picture, and am sure there are thousands more out there in 'luger-land". |
