Erfurt and mauser opinions

Ed,
Thank you for your perspective. I think that there is room for negotiation in both cases.
I currently have a unit marked 1912 Erfurt. I was surprised to see a 1913 Erfurt show up along with the 1937 show up for sale. while I favor WW1 vintage items over WW2, I understand that the metalurgy is a bit more reliable with the WW2 era models. The finishing on the 1937, even though worn, shows a well made pistol.
Of the two which would you consider a better buy from the piint of view of collectibility/desirability?
