1912 ERFURT

kidvett · 06-25-2002, 05:53 AM

I could have an opportunity on a matching 60% 1912 ERFURT ( I did not see it ). My LUGER collection covers WWII...I was thinking of starting a WWI category....There is a regular supply around here of 1915/16/17 & 1918 DWM's.... Not so many pre-WWI Erfurts.....

Any opinions on this one...

Thanks,

If all original and matching, a 1912 Erfurt would be a worthwhile addition to your collection, IMO. While at 60% it's not in the best condition for a top-flight collection, it would be a good representative piece and decent 1912 Erfurts are not that easy to find.

I like Erfurts in spite of a reputation for a second-rate finish when compared to DWM Lugers.

My main area of collecting interest is Imperial German military Lugers. Your idea of a new section is excellent.

Prewar Erfurts are much harder to find than prewar DWM's.

Mr Still, I'd like to thank you for your professional opinion on the 1912 ERFURT. I wasn't sure about getting the gun at first however after reading your posting I'm going to call the owner to close the deal. I'll post a picture as soon as I get my hands on it.

Thanks again,
