Ed,
I did let Lynn know he would probably get all kinds of offers on this quite rare piece.
I suggested he get together with the Simpsons for an appraisal. When a gun might be worth $ 10K or more, the $ 135 spent might be a good investment to know what one really has...
R. Gibson estimated around 200 1944-dated ones, only.
Doc,
I think the Pacific Arms lugers from the 1920's had a front sight blade with this profile as well...maybe this HK had its sight replaced at some point in time. I hear those parts were abundant in the 1950-60's.
