Imperial Luger Pistol manufactured at Erfurt, the Prussian owned arms factory, during WWI. The pistol chamber is dated "1920/1916" and the toggle is marked with the distinctive "Crown / ERFURT" logo. The pistol was subsequently reworked to police specifications by the addition of a sear safety and magazine safety (absent). The pistol has a dull blue finish with straw colored small parts. The stocks are finely checkered walnut and the back strap has a stock lug . The magazine has a blue body and aluminum base numbered to another gun, with the remaining visible numbers matching. The right side of the receiver is stamped with three "Crown/gothic letter" Army acceptance marks followed by the Imperial Eagle. The "Crown/ RC" rework stamp is marked on the left rear of the barrel. The left side of the toggle link is also stamped with the Imperial Eagle. Typical of Erfurt pistols, a small "Crown/gothic letter" acceptance mark is stamped on all of the small parts. Complete with a 1916 dated Kersten leather flap holster.

Arsenal refinished with 60% blue finish remaining. There is some minor muzzle and edge wear, and the grip straps are thinning. There is some scattered light spotting, and some minor pitting on the barrel. 50% of the straw color remains with a smooth silver gray on the balance. The grips are good with some moderate wear, scattered minor dings and dents, and overall crisp checkering. The markings (some highlighted in white) remain clear. Mechanically very good. The holster is good with some moderate wear. There is the absence of some stitching where a cleaning rod pouch was, replaced with a magazine pouch and some of the stitching on the inner strap is loose, otherwise the stitching is tight. The hole in the outer strap has been stitched repaired to make it tighter
