My first Krieggie!
Lucky Guy I am---
My Mentor is "cleaning out his safe", and gave me the opportunity to own this one. This pistol is about 90% in my estimation. A 1936 dated chamber,the workmanship of the K/hoff crew really shows thru. Then, to top it all, matching mag. Not close, but exact. Yes, I know, it' the spare, but it matches!! And does not appear to be forced. It is also listed in Randal Gibson's book. Ronnie http://forums.lugerforum.com/lfupload/kreiggeleft3.jpg http://forums.lugerforum.com/lfuploa...1595khoff1.jpg |
Ronnie,
the spare mag is MORE than good enough. Most people don't even have that yet alone a bonafide Kreeg-off. Nice going. OK, now get going on the rest of them. Big Norm |
A hearty Congrats! Really nice looking KH. How about some more photos when you find time?

Hi John D.,
Around what serial number range did HK switch the location and upsidedown/rightsideup orientation of the HK proof on their magazine bottoms ? Regards, Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" /> |
Ronnie, thank your mentor! I have one of those too, been a great help and is a hell of a guy too!

Hey Pete..!!!
Hmmm- that's an excellent question, as I've never been asked that??!!! I'm not certain there is a definite "cut off" - but I see what you mean... Let me do some research in my records, OK? Best to you! JD |
Hi again, John D.,
I can't seem to find the page reference in R. Gibson's book on HK luger (boy, I hate that...), but I seem to recall he indicated "1" and "2" marked lugers are only seen in police-service lugers and the military versions used "+" only...and as of his writing, he mentioned only seeing a few HK magazines with "1" and none, to date, with "2". Regards, Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" /> |
Hey Pete!!!
Sorry about that - I got so involved with Panu's question yesterday, I forgot all about this one!! Anyway - when I finish cleaning up my office (it's a MESS with cables, servers and systems scattered about - I can't find anything that has to do with my "paying job"... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> Which reminds me - if the site goes down for a bit - it's only me re-stringing cables so I don't trip over them as I walk across the office..!!! :D ) I'll take a look later for that info, too..!!!! Thanks for the reminder! |
Hi John D.,
Did find the R. Gibson reference, as noted in my last posting...it appears on page 56 of his HK book... Regards, Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" /> |
