Well, here is the 1902 Erfurt I recently found. Came without a bolt and the cleaning rod is two numbers off, but matching other than that. The metal is rough, and aside from that, it is caked in dirt. I've come to dislike cleaning weapons other than oiling them, but with this one I decided that I atleast had to get to the serial numbers and the acceptance stamps. So to clean it I used break-free oil and bronze wool, often with little visible effect, but I did get to the serial numbers. I liked what I found underneath the dirt, every little part is acceptance stamped.
Not much else to say about it other than when I flipped the disc I found the marking O. 158., which I'm still trying to determine the meaning of. Who ever it was issued to it sure went through hell afterwards. At least the price was decent.
