Sergio, I am by no means a Krieghoff expert...

Hopefully John D. will chime in here.

My observations follow and I encourage anyone who knows more about KH guns to comment:

The gun is not numbered in the military style? so is it commercial?

I am not accustomed to seeing the round milling marks being so prominent in the frame "ear" surrounding the safety lever on a Krieghoff. Perhaps this gun is POST-WAR assembled from parts and therefore not up to standard KH quality control?

There Appears to be bluing over some of the pitting which would indicate that the gun may have been refinished, perhaps after the re-chambering operation?

I open the floor for comments and other's observations!
