Help on Buying 1st Luger (cont.)

[DonVoigt]

Sorry,
but the artillery upper is not a "complete Erfurt".
Erfurt didn't make artillerys in 1918, so it is either an Erfurt toggle in a DWM bbl/receiver; or someone screwed an artillery barrel into a 1918 Erfurt receiver.

If we had a picture of the proof and markings on the left chamber we could tell if it is an Erfurt or DWM receiver.

It really doesn't matter though, it would make a shooter artillery if combined with either of those lowers, or another in the future.

James,
your missing one of the "money shots" on a luger in each of these- a picture of the front of the frame showing the frame serial number.\
Would be good to take if you want to show and tell or ask in future.

Good job on what you did take though!

I'd dig just a bit deeper than Jerry on the #1 gun if it is matching. A good shooter to be sure and matching helps.
#2 is an interesting rig, and a closer hands on inspection would be nice.
What specific questions do you have that haven't been answered?
