My 1st P.08, a 1914 Erfurt

Hi Ron,

You are probably right about the "halo" on Erfurts...I had forgotten I have a 1913 Erfurt in my safe and took a look.

On Randy' pistol, some of the numbers on the undeside of the barrel look odd...as in possibly touched-up with an engraver tool..

The loss of depth in the middle of the Erfurt wording and crown seems odd to me...

There is also a very big, deep gouge on the front of the frame near the TD lever that appears to have blue inside the gouged areas...

Thus my guess that it is a reblue...
