Hi Matt, 1913 is a very interesting year for Erfurt Luger collectors. Some came with no hold-open, some with hold-open added (evident on the right side of the gun by an unfinished pin head and a tiny inspection mark - see photo), and some with it originally installed. The early 1913s came with no stock lug (like yours), later ones came with it. A very few came with Boehler steel barrels (again like yours), and most came with inspection marks on the grip screws (second photo). Enjoy your 1913 Erfurt, there are few Lugers that are more interesting. Regards, Norm
