The majority of Erfurts dated 1914 were made as Artillery models. Yours would seem to have been converted from a true Artillery Erfurt. My GUESS would be that the DWM also began life as a true Artillery model as there's no evidence I'm aware of that DWM ever followed the Nov., 1916 directive to make all new receivers with the notch.
