Erfurt & Mauser Info

Hi Jeffery, and welcome to the forum.

My condolences on your loss of your Brother.

You have what appears to be two very nice Lugers. My first impression is that they are probably collectable.

Are you sure about the Erfurt's replacement grips? While they do look quite clean, they could possibly be original. You have to remove them to see if there are any Erfurt markings inside. If you do take them off, be very careful not to chip or break them, particularly the left one near the safety lever. There are removal instructions on our site.

The magazine with the Erfurt is a post-war Haenel Schmeisser magazine made for the Vopo in East Germany. It is a very high quality magazine. They were sold for several years here by Sarco.

Images from scanners tends to flatten the round portions of the objects.

Do you have any specific questions?

Marc
