Default Finally filled a hole

I focus on the Erfurts and a lugged 1913 has eluded me for a long time - until now. It’s all matching except the magazine, even the unfluted firing pin. It came with a very nice unmarked DWM magazine (commercial) but a quick search through my spares turned ip a double-crowned Erfurt magazine. The only detractor I can find is the lack of paint in the “GESICHERT” marking Anyway, here are a couple photos…

Filled a hole? I much prefer something like this over expanding foam! And it will also *make* some holes. Very nice...

Default 1913

Congratulations, and you found a nice one. I love the blue fire on the toggle pins still. Fantastic halos on the barrel numbers. I’m remiss that I let my 1914 DWM with a bollers? Barrel go (BO29) ,the barrel was still a 10”. Will you try a few rounds through it? If it could talk about it’s experiences…
