I don't personally like to draw a firm line in the sand on what guns are collectable and which ones are relegated to the shooter category. One collector may place a high value on a buffed, plated, mismatched gun with sweetheart grips, whereas others demand perfect originality, right down to the dirt on the trigger spring.
Collectability is in the eye of the beholder...

Thanks David,
It "looks" like what I would expect a genuine 100 year old
pistol to look like.

Given the few Erfurt artilleries made, and the fact that they were
used through out the Great War, finding a pretty one will be tough.

Someone else posted here it took them 10 years to find a 98%
1914 Erfurt L PO8, I'm not sure I want to wait that long for one.
