Post KRIEGHOFF quality vs. age?

Hi all,

Those beautiful KRIEGHOFF photos reminded me of something I have been wondering about. Is there a difference in fit/finish quality between various years of KRIEGHOFFs or were they consistent?

I ask because my early Mausers, the G-date and 1936 seem to be better polished and finished than my 1939 and especially my byf/41, which is rough compared with my G-date.

Are the G-date and S-code KRIEGHOFFs similarly of better finish than the mid 40s specimens, or did KRIEGHOFF have excellent quality right through 1945.

More than curious, as if I decide to buy a KRIEGHOFF, I would want to attempt to buy one from an era of highest quality.

Thanks all. But CURSE YOU Mr. Ebbink for all the drool accumulating on my keyboard and for placing KRIEGHOFF lust in my heart.

Have a happy 4th of July. I am off to Holister to watch the animals in the zoo!
