1914s What Is The Difference?

[HerrKaiser]

"After 1914 the Bavarian arms commission sent a delegation to Erfurt to find out why quality of Erfurt arms were deteriorating. The delegation later reported their findings laying the blame on the above factors as well as the fact that Erfurt was filling empty slots on their manufacturing lines with semi-competent new hires including women."

Then again, in the conditions of WW1 and WW2 its not nearly as important who makes them, how they are made, or what the finish quality of the weapon is. The overriding factor is that you can rely on your weapon to go bang bang as the enemy is assaulting your position. So far from what I've read and heard, the Erfurts still did that even if they weren't as stylish looking as a DWM.

Folks often confuse "quality" with appearance. The final test/inspection kept the functional quality to the specified level.
