1916 Erfurt with 4 digit only SN - no letter

bhterrell · 10-30-2009, 08:18 PM

I have a 1916 Erfurt with a 4-digit serial number (SN 7x59 all matching including magazine). It has NO LETTER as a part of the serial number. Is this common? Thanks, Bill

It means it was the first 10,000 made that year (started over each year)

Why the "thumbs down"???

I'd love to have an early Erfurt...
