Two questions

Dittamedia,

The crown/RC on your Erfurt is neither a refurbish nor a replacement mark. It is the mark of the Revisions-Commission.

Lugers and their parts were examined constantly during their manufacture. Occasionally a part would be out of standard in some manner; these would go before the Revisions-Commission and, if the Commission determined that the part could be used without endangering the user, they affixed their stamp to indicate this. These parts were then assembled into their respective Lugers.

Most Erfurts are littered with c/RC stamps (almost never encountered on DWM Lugers), and are one of the features which makes them attractive to some collectors.
