Bought my first Luger! Erfurt 1917

Didn't we, on a different thread, sort of conclude that not quite ALL Erfurts had that cut-out? Seems like one of the gurus said that some did not, but I don't remember any rhyme or reason as to which do, and which do not. No series of serial numbers or tell-tale years was given.

David, I am not the guru of which you speak, I am more of a vast wasteland of information , but I can confirm that in my very few years of studying Lugers (about 50), I have seen and handled a few Erfurts that didn't have artillery rear sight notch in the receiver ring...
