New guy with a 1914 Erfurt

Thanks folks. Although I'm not picking up on the Debbie reference, but that's OK. I figured the receiver was worked over also since the upper edges have a bit of a radius on them. Not sure why the toggle wasn't reblued like the other parts. I assume it's a different grade or hardnes that wouldn't take the reblue?

I wanted a shooter, and at $975 that seemed like a fair price for a shooter these days. (Ten years ago I would've laughed at that.) I was eying up a heavily pitted mixer that was actually a little more, but went with this one due to the matching #s. Hoping that helps with reliability. Haven't shot it yet but will follow up once I do.

Thanks again!
