H. Jones' Book - 1917 Erfurt Artillery ?

John, at this late date it's unlikely that we'll ever know the full details of Erfurt Artillery model production. The time to have gathered the details would have been between 1919 and 1932 but there was very little interest in Lugers at that time. In fact, they had a rather dreadful reputation at that time in the US.

My father often spoke of the poor quality of many post-war guns imported into the US and how that drove prices down to rediculous levels. He owned several Lugers that were of the best quality and knew the difference.
