I need your collective help on Krieghoff # 11278, 1941 date with matching mag. It is pictured in Gibson's book on page 179. This pistol has been offered to me at a fairly healthy price, but I have some concerns about it and would like to know the current thinking on this variation. Here are my concerns.: 1) The same serial number is found on page 175 on a 1940 gun. Does anyone know of a case where the serials were repeated like this? 2) It makes me nervous that this "large date 1941" is the only one known. Have there been others documented since the writing of the book? 3) While I am offered this gun from a guy I know and trust, the caption in the book declares the collection this came from and this too gives me pause.
Anyone have more info on this particular gun?
Thanks
