1914 Erfurt question

Hi Kevin,

Welcome to the Forum. I for one would sure like to see more photos of your family's nice 1914 Erfurt artillery. Any chance of posting more ?

Your artillery luger's value depends on original finish condition, all factory matching and numbered parts, etc. More photos would help our LP-08 experts nail down a good price valuation for you.

The BATF establishes the status of weapons on the Curio & Relics list. You can download a free pdf-file copy of this list on their web site :

http://www.atf.gov/firearms/curios/index.htm

Basically, guns made prior to 1898 are considered "Antiques" and are not part of the C&R status and licensing. Guns made from 1899 to 1946 are considered C&R's. Some special guns made after 1946 may also have C&R status but you need to check the C&R list for those unique guns.

Registration requirements vary from State to State. I will let fellow LF members that live in Michigan give you their opinions.

You might also want to contact a firearms division in your State government offices...as that might be the most up-to-date info. In CA-State, we go to the Department of Justice, Firearms Division, for such registration info.

p.s. Our LF member, Big Norm, lives not too far from you and is quite the LP-08 collector. I am sure he will love to see this piece in person...!!! and would be able to help you to a detailed examination...

Regards,

Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
