Ed,
how many examples of each do you want? It is easy enough - going forward- to add side plate pictures when doing photography of a new pistol, or an old one when doing more. Also of "spare" side plates. I have a couple Erfurt spares, not numbered, one in the white, I'll photo and add . Or should we send them to you? Just an oservation, but some of your trial pictures are too dark to show much detail.

Same here. If you're unable to lighten them, it would be better to attach them to your post, so we can download them and lighten them ourselves. Or perhaps an HTML document instead of a .PDF.

Ed,
I think this is a great idea but in my opinion you need larger images (at least as large as the actual side plate). I also think you should include supplemental information on interior markings. KFS |

My plan is to show them side by side then individually. Size is an jssue.

Hey Ed, can't you show them side/side on opposite pages? That would allow you to make the images larger wouldn't it?

Ed,
here are the pictures from the 1918/20 Erfurt. Notice the "Y" on the tab and corresponding "Y' on the frame where the side plate covers it. Eric, I see an "S" on your Erfurt side plate, is there an "S" on your frame- you can see it with the side plate removed. The "Y" is a little faint, but just to the rear of the trigger pivot.

thanks
the primary purpose for me is to quickly look at each part - what would be fascinating is to have each part and do like I did with suffixes years ago, show 2-3 of each companies part. YOU would compare Don, got the erfurt, bottom is fuzzy - I am unsure how many angles are good anyway, for sure full front straight on and full rear are best. Other angles might be hard to duplicate.
