1914 Erfurt Artillery

beachbaker · 11-15-2018, 02:23 PM

I have come across a very nice all matching 1914 Erfurt Artillery in about 95%. Frankly most of these that I have seen have been pretty worn and used. The finish is original and well above average. The price is $3500 and seems to be about what I would expect, I would like some thoughts on this one. Thanks, Curt

Hi Curt,
With the usual proviso that your 95% equals my 95% I would say that $3,500.00 is about right. If your "all matching" includes the magazine then it's a bargain.

I agree with Norm, but I'd try a lower offer first! And be sure the finish is original.

A really nice Erturt is a tough find, as you say, most are well worn- as you would expect from a 1914 dated luger.

I shoiuld have noted that the magazine is a non matching Erfurt. As I thought the price is about right. I will be receiving on Saturday and will post pictures if people would like to see it. Curt
