That story of mixed numbers is true, but more likely p38's, ppk, etc. then krieghoffs were made up of whatever parts, while salvaged lugers were sold in the px.

With few exceptions, us soldiers met only a few Russians, and never made it to Berlin until after the war. Now, it does not mean that some Lugers weren't found in an important building. I am talking to a guy right now that his dad found a Luger, in a glass case in Suhl. It is a very early gun and I have little doubt the story is not true.

It sounds and looks like a gun that was special to someone important. Remember, lots of high ranking Germans had their items boxed up and sent west away from the Russians. This stuff was found by GIs and plundered, I mean consficated.
