" Howard, do you think the Walther LPs were produced in the same time frame as the Erma-Erfurt? They start about the same time for the police, perhaps a year earlier with the * acceptance stamp on steel guns. I think with serial ranges, the police production reached 1944. "
================================================== ====
Joe I am not sure what you mean. Walther HEERS began production in 1928 and didn't stop till the end of 1943, maybe later. My earliest Erma is in 1936 and as far as I know it is the only one known, although with a #6xx there must be more out there.
If you mean Zink production duv has the earliest date at 1941 and produced in very small quantities through 1943, Walthers and Erma's are 1942 to 1943. Possibly the Commercial Walther Banners were produced later, but I doubt it.
If you you are talking about Police Models, You are the expert on that, I really have no serial number list, just the few examples I own.
If you are talking about Kampfpistols Erma began in 1940 with their ayf 40, and ended in 1942 with ayf 42's and the Erma-Erfurts probably in 1942 - 1943. Walthers were AC 41's and AC-42's
The Erma-Erfurt code on LP's began in 1936 through 1940, Then continued only on police guns in 1941 and 42, and finally on Zink and Kampfpistoles in 1943 ( possibly also the end of 42 )
I hope one of these answers will help, If I misunderstood the question let me know.
