1920 Commercial Erfurt

Jamese,

To check to see that this is a real commercial-converted Erfurt, rather than a DWM with an Erfurt toggle, look for Imperial inspector stamps on all the parts.

Erfurt stamped these marks, appearing as a Germanic-looking letter under a crown, on all the gun's parts, including the gip screws and ejector. The effect is that the gun is peppered with them, it should be readily apparent to you. DWM did not use these marks.

If it is truly an Erfurt, and you do buy it, be sure to take copious photographs and post them here.

--Dwight
