1940 Krieg one of 100
9 Attachment(s)
To the Krieghoff clan....... Just wanted to share a new find that walked into a show here in Texas from the vets son. A 1940 dated Krieghoff with 2 period original numbered mags, original period Krieghoff holster, and the period proofed tool. I've checked every detail against Gibson's book and everything is period original. Gibson says it's one of 100 late production pieces, serial # 11180 and is in approx. 97% original period blue and 98% original period straw. Gibson doesn't have this serial # listed but his book is years old. I will be happy to send anyone detailed scans if they want. They are still out there !

1940 Krieghoff
In addition, but not as big as the Krieghoff, the old man had a K date rig which I will post to it's proper catagory.......

Hi Mike, I've posted a similar message on your K date thread, but since that rig is suspect, I'd like to see a better lit photo of the tool in this rig. Everything may be Kosher, but it's wise to make sure. Regards, Norm

It would be interesting to see the details of the two matching magazines. 1940 Krieghoffs usually have the acceptance stamps right side up relative to the serial number. See page 56 and 57 The Krieghoff Parabellum. Please correct me if I am mistaken. Jan |
Mike..Can I see the holster a little better? If you have any more photo's handy.
|
Very nice. I happen to own SN11181.

Very nice. I happen to own SN11191.

Myky, This is a most excellent Krieghoff rig. We all dream of finding rigs like this.
My 1940 Kreighoff is number 11247. We are covering a large segment of the estimated 100. |
"Myky
Like Gary said, outstanding find!!! Jan" My statement made above was based on a cursory look at poor quality photographs. This is not an endorsement of this or any other Luger!!! I apologize for not being clear. Details of the magazines markings would be of interest. See page 56 and 57 of The Krieghoff Parabellum and page 279 Third Reich Lugers. Jan |

Tom Whiteman lists this Luger (sn 11180) as a high quality reblue. His well researched list is on the other Luger Forum at: http://luger.gunboards.com/showthrea...Updated-5-5-12 Your comments please. Jan |
One can't help feeling sorry for poor Myky. Fifty four years experience but he still fell for that old vet's son's story. There's a lesson there for all of us. Regards, Norm

Old thread but new to me as I am new here . I can definitely add to the story of this gun [ 11180 ] as I bought it 7/12/95 . Returned it as it had issues not mentioned and it did not have a matching mag . It came out of the MPLS MN area at that time and was definitely not in the hands of the vets son . Hate to be the bearer of ill tidings but this is not the only one I used to own that mysteriously got better AFTER it left me . As many well know one of Waffenfabrik USA's main branches is in that area .

Thanks 1933 Ford Nut. I would hope you would add some more of your past experiences for us so we don't become victims. Between the HK's and 1914 type "Navies", WaA MN had almost flooded the market at one time. Watch out for 1898 Borchardt-Luger "prototypes" as well.

No surprise given the reputation of the original poster.
