Matt,
Charlie told me the only part that he THOUGHT was forced matched was the magazine. He also told me it had no six point star. That is the first thing I checked for when I received the Luger. The six point star is exactly where it is supposed to be. I had a forum member and also a personal friend of the late Randall Gibson, who is also an avid Krieghoff collector look at it. Both agree it is a legitimate 1938 Krieghoff. The HK collector completely disassembled it and I mean completely, even removing the safety lever and sear bar. All the parts, including all the small parts were properly stamped with the correct numbers and acceptance marks . BTW, I had to drive 300 miles to get to this man's home. Seeing his collection was worth the trip in itself.
Mike
