SOLD VERY RARE 1912 ERFURT LUGER CRISP EXAMPLE

IN 97% ORIGINAL CONDITION, WE HAVE A VERY ATTRACTIVE EXAMPLE OF A VERY HARD TO FIND 1912 ERFURT LUGER. THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR THAT LUGERS WERE PRODUCED BY ERFURT. THIS LUGER IS ALL MATCHING EXCEPT THE MAG, WHICH IS A CORRECT EARLY ERFURT MAG. THE HOLD OPEN FEATURE WAS NOT RETRO-ACTIVELY FITTED TO THIS PISTOL, WHICH IS RARE. THERE WERE ONLY AROUND 21,000 PISTOLS MADE BY ERFURT IN 1912 AND VERY FEW HAVE SURVIVED. THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THE INITIAL PRODUCTION AT THE GERMAN GOVERMENT ARSENAL. THIS IS A GREAT GUN TO START OFF YOUR ERFURTS WITH OR IF YOU ONLY NEED ONE IT WOULD BE AN ULITMATE EXAMPLE. ANY LUGER DATED 1914 OR EARLIER ARE RARE AND THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE. THIS PISTOL REALLY EVOKES THE LAST ROMANTIC PRE WW1 DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES FOR THE GERMAN ARMY, RUSHING HEADLONG INTO A 50 YEAR LONG NIGHTMARISH HELL.
