Which 1940 Krieghoff

John D., I've been studying this 1940 piece closer. The extractor is Type A. The receiver proofs are somewhat puzzling. If you open Gibson's book to page 94, the receiver proofs on my 1940 have the middle proof in the photo on the extreme left, the late LWaA1st II,late in the middle, and the small eagle/2 on the right, like the photo on page 94. Furthermore, the are no numbers or markings of any kind in the well, where Gibson's book says up to three small numbers are. The area is milled and blued consistant with the rest of the frame. What do you make of all this short of photos?
