Hi bcc - you asked "...Also answer the same seniaro if it was a really rare variation like a navy or Kregoff."

It is typical to find Krieghoffs that do *NOT* have a numbered connector pin. They were sporadically numbered with the 2mm stamps to match the last two digits of the serial number as often as they were left un-numbered. Therefore, it is proper to have a "matched" Krieg either with or without the number on the pin. However, if you are familiar with Kriegs, you can usually discern a "proper" un-numbered HK pin from a pin manufactured by another Luger manufacturer... To see the difference, look closly at the end-cap tooling marks at the cut-off as well as the color of the pin itself.

Hope this helps!
