I copied this info to its own thread as the other was for reporting serial numbers.

Larger pictures would help, these are small thumbnails and can't be enlarged

Is it matching?

I am no expert on Krieghoff's, but would assume its $6-9 thousand (normal lugers are 1/3rd that value. But, is it matching? original bluing? How is the magazine marked?

Info

Krieghoffs were made under contract more for the Luftwaffe although made for army also - 10,000 contract, and then rejects and some were sold as private sales - I have the Krieghoff book, but don't know as much about them off the top of my head. The "P" in front of the serial number indicates commercial sale, as does the crown N on the barrel. year made, between 1941 (?) and 1945 - others will chime in or correct me
