Were only 50 1938 Krieghoffs produced?
 

There are now 26 recorded 1938 Krieghoffs with a total production estimate of 50. Something is not right. Does anyone have any updated production estimates or an explanation?

Hi Bob, A similar situation exists with 1904 Navies. It's funny how these rare and valuable variations have such high survival rates. If I wasn't such a trusting soul, I'd suspect foul play. Best regards, Norm

Norm,
There are 10 recorded 1941 Krieghoffs with an estimated production of 100 which is a 10% survival rate. 1938 Krieghoffs have a survival rate of over 50%.

I just checked the 1942 Krieghoff with 27 recorded with a production of 300.
That is a 9% survival rate.

Since Gibsons 1988 printing, 3 of the 27 1942s were added.
There were 9 added to the 17 since that printing for the 1938 Krieghoff.
Kind of makes one wonder?
Bob

Does anyone know of any fake 1938 Krieghoffs?If so,what are the numbers?
