SIMSON vs KRIEGHOFF prices

Mac Cat · 07-19-2019, 10:12 PM

I think the fact Kreighoff's were originally ordered for the Luftwaffe made them sound special. I think Goering ordered 10,000 of them, but by that point in aviation history, experienced airmen wanted a vest pistol and some officers were going for the newer P-38. They do have different acceptance and proof stamps and lot of variations.

I believe German officers chose their own sidearms, but enlisted were issued their weapons.

Probably Norm was only making a comparison.

Anyway thanks Edward, who better than you could have given me an answer on SIMSON's lugers.
