1913 Erfurt coming up for sale

trigger643 · 05-09-2003, 07:36 AM

Was just introduced to a 1913 Erfurt from an estate that is going to be put up for auction. Non-import. It is matching externally (I haven't been allowed to take it apart yet), 80% original bluing, 40% straw, no pitting, but scattered freckling with grip straps and holster wear areas turning brown. If the grips are replacements, they are period replacements and have no chips or cracks, but do have several bruises.
The cross pins in the toggle are fire blued and may be replacements? The magazine is mismatched and appears to be period correct but doesn't appear to be an Erfurt and is probably a DWM (numbered). They wish to start it with a reserve of $700.00. What do you think?
