SOLD - Early Police Erfurt Luger - 1911 Mfg

Description

6/29/22 - This is an early Erfurt Luger that was produced in 1911 at a time before the use of stock lugs and hold opens. All numbered parts on this pistol match, though it was sent to the police after the war. It was originally military accepted in Germany prior to World War I, and then after the war would've received the police sear safety that is currently present, as well as the police-numbered magazine (matching). This one has the original matching grips, and the internally numbered parts are matching except for the firing pin, which is a replacement. The bluing on the pistol rates at roughly 85-90% as there isn't a ton of bluing loss but there is general patina throughout. The grips have considerable handling wear but no cracks or chips. The magazine base does have a notable crack which was partially repaired. Unfortunately, the bore on this one is somewhat "shot out" as the rifling is very smooth now.
