Erfurt and mauser opinions

As Ed said they are probably first entry collectibles, but are still "collectibles" I think.
I would prefer the ERFURT, but since the prices as negotiable I would try to get both of them.

Gentlemen,
I am pretty well decided on making an offer on the 1913 Erfurt. Before I do so, I have a follow up question concerning the surface rust. What would be the most effective and least intrusive method of removing the surface rust without affecting the bluing and straw colors? Is bronze wool dipped in CLP the preferred method and in your collective opinions, would you expect it to be succcesful in cleaning up the majority of the surface rust that is currently on the pistol? I don't expect it to be restored to like new but would like to get it a bit more presentable.

Thank you,
Foxdoublegunner
