Is it a 1916 ? Erfurt was the gov't arsenal and produced Lugers from 1911 to 1918.

Yes, its a 1916 Ser# 5920. looks like all the external marks are 20, except for the chamber plate which has 98 on it.

And actually, looks like i posted in the wrong catagory as the only marks on this one are serial numbers and proofs. (noob)
