This Imperial German Luger semi-automatic pistol was manufactured at Erfurt, the Prussian owned arms factory, during WWI. The chamber is dated "1918" and the toggle is marked with the distinctive "Crown/ERFURT" logo. The pistol has a dull blue finish with straw colored small parts. The pistol serial number and suffix is marked on the front of the frame. "8054" is stamped on the bottom of the barrel, as well as the bore diameter "8,82", and the left side of the barrel extension. The partial serial number, "54" is stamped on most of the small components including the inside of the grips. The right side of the receiver is stamped with three "crown/gothic letter" army acceptance marks followed by the Imperial eagle and preceded by the "crown/RC" Revision-Commission rework stamp. The rework mark is also stamped on the left side of the barrel over a crown/gothic letter proof and the Imperial eagle is stamped on the right. The left side of the breechblock 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. The magazine is nickel plated with a wooden base numbered to the gun and the back strap has a stock lug. Fitted with checkered walnut grips.

Exceptionally fine. The pistol retains 90% original blue finish with some muzzle and high edge wear, and some minor spotting on the grip straps. The grips are excellent with a few minor handling marks, some mild wear and crisp checkering. The small components retain 70% of the original straw colors. Mechanically excellent.
