And the "1914" Jones Erfurt LP-08 referenced by the seller shows an unbroken crown...But it is centered both ways...

And the chamber date on the Jones "1914" LP-08 is 1917...

While I'm neither Ron nor George, I've never seen any German Luger part as rough as that toggle link. It gives new meaning to "wartime expedience".

Are DWM and Erfurt parts interchangeable?

Looks like there were several die changes and for each year one can find both broken and complete. Bill

I received this toggle link along with a 1917 notched receiver with the crown-RC stamp along with four other proofs...

Not sure if this is the broken stamp, but the crown above the Erfurt is incomplete while rest looks unbroken...

Yes, that is an example of the broken stamp...

Early Erfurts were very good quality. Late war is when finish began to suffer. John
