I agree that this all may be more of a challenge on the 1914 guns vs, say, the 1918 models.
Thanks for indulging me here.

I can see tool markings/traces- more or less- on different 1917/18 Erfurt lugers, some are much more "finished" than others. I believe it has a lot to do with the individual who did the work on a particular unit, JMHO.

But generally speaking, the later made examples are less well finished than the earlier ones- very much like the US M 1903 and A3 rifles made in WWII by Remington. None of the cosmetic deterioration made the units any less useful.
