Odd Erfurt Frame

Ted,
That has got to be one of the more bizarre factory errors to come along. How that one ever got out of the house is hard to imagine. About the only other oddity of that magnitude was the Luger with the "slab-side" receiver that was posted some time ago (I can't even remember which forum). It had no chamfers on the forward edge of the receiver. Omitted machining steps are hard to conceive, but even harder to believe is finding them on a completed and issued/sold pistol.
