Jan,
This gun just came in the shop, fresh from an Iowa farmhouse. It is in very nice condition. What is this unit mark? Thanks.

BGrad, That's one sweet looking Erfurt! I don't understand pits...How could it have pits when it looks like it has never seen rust at all? Jerry Burney

LHR,
I think it had a few blood spots on it. Other than that, its almost mint.
