1916 Erfurt sear bars

Hi Bill, The very earliest 1916 Navies with serial numbers below #900, had unrelieved sear bars. They were most likely made in Oct 1916. All subsequent Navies had the "new and improved" relieved sear bar. Hope this helps. Regards, Norm

For whats it worth, here's a photo of my 1914 Erfurt with a replaced sear. I say replaced (and original not milled down) because you can see the original sear number (73) and the re-stamp (40) to match the pistol.

Unless the (73) is not a serial number?
