Erfurt

Timofey · 08-11-2006, 07:03 PM

Hi All,

A couple of questions. I have come across a 1918 Erfurt with a brown 1916 holster. The pistol is in good shape. All SN match did not check the firing pin. The holster is fair with the tool.

I have perused the forum and could not find any Erfurt info. Most likely I have missed it. Where do I need to look?

The magazine does not match the pistol. How does this affect price?

Thanks for the help.

Regards,

Tim

there are lots of erfurt guns here, do a search (upper right) and put in 1918 erfurt and do the military section...

It is MUCH more common to find them with mismatched mag, then matched.

Thanks for the help.

It seems the price is right. I'll pick the old girl with an inspection period so I can check the SNs on the grips and firing pin and post some pictures for any advice.

Thanks again.

The Erfurt sold. She was nice too.

I have Lugers at Random coming so the adventure was not a complete loss.

Thanks again for the help.

Sorry you missed that gun and holster...You will be quicker next time... because in the interim between now and then next one you find to buy you will have taken the time to educate yourself more about about Lugers...

WELCOME to the Lugerforum...
