Is there someone who might be able to look it up in a reference book for me? I don't see much on line.
Thanks for any help.

Bob,
We would all like to help but the pictures are too small.
What is clear is that you have a Krieghoff Side Frame Inscription.
These guns were made from guns rejected by Luftwaffe inspectors and sold to private individuals. I.e. the P prefix.
I cannot tell anything about the quality of your piece. Better pictures are required.
BUT..there was an auction this past weekend that featured several Krieghoffs, among them a side frame inscription made about the same time as yours.
Here is the link:

You can get an idea about what is going on.
Hope this helps.
John
PS: Just looked at photos. Magazine is not original to the gun. Holster is nice looking. On the surface, guns looks good including the inscription. Check out the link I gave above for some idea of what these guns are worth. Not the best; but certainly not the worse.
