Need Help With 1916 Erfurt

EGranuloma · 01-21-2008, 03:11 AM

Hey,
I am new to this forum and I am looking to buy this pistol from a dealer.
I dont know much about the gun but its a 1916 Erfurt with all matching serials.
The dealer told me it has not been re-blued and the wood on the grips and clip are original.
He wants 950.00 USD for it.
Does that seem fair how much do these makes go for?
I know each gun has their own story and I am looking to start my collection somewhere.
Thanks in advance!

What you describe is worth nearer to $3000 or more. If you can post pictures of the Erfurt. So the forum can give you a good opinion of this 1916 Erfurt.

Did you mean to post about your 1916 Erfurt in the LP-08 Artillery section or is your Erfurt a 1916 Artillery ?

If the later, beware...as Erfurt only made the Artillery model in the year 1914...

EGranuloma, it would help to know what country you are from. You wrote 950USD, Americans don't write it like that, so assume you are in a different country?

also, I always find it a bit rude not to have a name in either the posting or your profile. Unless egran is your name...
