1918 Erfurt value question

Howard,

When I post I try to make a clear differentiation between Inspector Stamps and Power Proofs; I didn't manage to make that perfectly clear here.

I agree with you about "matching" being a serial# concern. This is different from something like Erfurt grip screw inspector marks, which are "proper" on an Erfurt 1911-1916 (and maybe a bit into 1917). If I was looking to buy an Erfurt Luger from those years I would expect a price differentiation depending if the marks were present or absent.
