Did I miss out and should be kicking myself?

Well, the grips are certainly not "right as rain" to use the seller's terminology, nor is the magazine bottom, which is a modern replacement.

I was, however amused at the seller's flare for descriptive terminology;

"The 1916 Erfurt Imperial Acceptance stamp with the cross of peace and the bar of justice is found on the right frame"

My $.02...It's a good/excellent price for an Erfurt (but it's not an Erfurt); only fair for a DWM; his shipping price is outstanding...$8 to ship???...Wow...

You were right to pass it by...

If he can't tell an Erfurt from a DWM then he can't be depended on for anything else...
