Joe,

That's a very nice unit marked 1913 and holster. You come up with some nice stuff.

Did you just get this one? It looks familiar for some reason.

Ron

If your asking where I got the holster, it was on eBay. Didn't come cheap, because of the date and it's overall excelent condition, as well as it's markings.

The Erfurt came from a dealer in New Hampshire, about 7 years ago.

Joe,

I meant the Luger. I remember that you posted it on Still's forum awhile ago.
