erfurt arty price

lugersrkewl · 12-01-2013, 04:40 PM

Hi I found a local erfurt arty with the stock ground off. what would something like that be worth resale?
I dont need it but if its a good price I might go up and grab it.
its a 1915 with mismatched barrel and ground stock lug . probably reblued after stock lug mishap.
I need another shooter like I need another hole in my head

An extra shooter could easily be used to create the latter, killing two birds with one stone, so to speak...

A couple of years ago, an artie shooter was deemed to be worth $1k minimum. I also have one with the stock lug ground off, but its condition is very nice, with original finish and numbers matching except for the grips which are old replacements. I paid $1200 for it at RIAC--no huge bargain, but I was, and am, happy with it. The Navy in my other post will match it--sans lug and lanyard loop!

yes, if buying, you'd want to get it for $750-$860 IMO

I think you can sell for around $1000 to a bit more....

Erfurt only produced artilleries in 1914,none in 1915.

looks like the tip end of the barrel was cut down and front sight moved back. barrel band is missing.

thanks to all of you gentlemen I got the seller down to 900 shipped but with no stock lug and not a true artillery its worth about 600 to 750 to me and not enough room to make it worth while for resale
