Need help on ID...

Hello to everyone,

I came across an interesting 4 inch Military type pistol. It is curious to me and I'd like some help on ID...here it goes:

1914 dated ERFURT with a recessed receiver ( slot on top for the Arty sight )

4 inch bbl: SIMSON E/6 Proof on left side & PTV Eagle ( no 29 tech. data ) on right side

Matching pistol with usual ERFURT Proofs & non match Breechblock with Eagle/ Swatiska Firing Proof ( III Reich era )

Reblued EXCEPT receiver ( curious ?? )

NO sear safety & NO Rework Proofs

SE 37 blued rolled mag ( not matching )

Could it be an early Nazi rework or a SIMSON rework?? Or simply a mismatched common shooter

Thank you

kidvett

1. 1914 Erfurt - hard to find date
2. 1914 Erfurt recessed for artillery barrel - most were.
3. Simson E/6 rework after 1925.
4. Unusual marks like Crown over R/C found on most Erfurts. long story.
5. rework, reblued or restored?
6. 122 or fxo magazine came after 1940.
7. Obviously a Simson rework. mismatch parts came later.
8. that's all I can tell you.
I only read the books, can't tell you much more unless you ask about Crown over RC.
Good Luck
