Hi,
Well, who knows but if this one was "sanitized" then someone should have removed:
- the date above the chamber
- imperial acceptance proofs on the right side of the receiver
- HK marking on the back of the frame
- HK proof marks on the right side of the frame
- HK proof mark on the breechlock
This is not very likely when I examine the pistol since all corners are sharp and there are no traces of grinded surfaces in the locations where the imperial and HK proofs are normally found (only my photo was quite bad). The finish is original, rust blue at 95%.
Takedown lever is not numbered so propably it has been replaced by a spare part at some point of the pistol's life. Right grip is numbered "94" so also this is mismatching, no number on the left grip. Magazine is has wooden base and it is unnumbered.
My last guess: can this pistol been assembled in 1920's from a DWM 1915 military model luger S/N 913f (maybe with a damaged receiver?). In this rework new barrel and a commercial model receiver was been added (and numbered to match) and then the pistol was proofed at the Krieghoff factory?
