1914 Erfurt Luger – Unusual details

Well, looks like the breech block is "homemade" too.

The "notch" on the receiver has been altered(by filing it appears) as it is too wide/deep; it may
have been an artillery receiver or it may not. The alteration makes it impossible to say for sure, but it really does not matter to this modified luger. JMHO.

It is a good example of local "ingenuity" to make something work that was missing a couple main pieces. Very interesting.
