My Thanks right back at you. Remember though - I've been at this "Krieg thing" for almost 20 years now (I guess I really am an old guy!!!
)
For that, it's always a pleasure to assist with someone who asks questions - and you had a good one which lead me to various comments, as the magazine release is often "overlooked" by self-appointed "Krieghoff Experts" - but it's actually an interesting indicator and lead in to various conversations and research (as you can tell from my rather lengthy post). So, your question was very appropriate, as you know - my thanks for that..!!
As well - I'll try to post either one of my 1937s or the 1938 in the next few days, so you can take a look at some of the differences I referenced in my reply above. Over the course of the next couple of months - perhaps just focusing in on the earlier production Krieghoffs would make sense - 1940 and earlier, as your's is a fine 1940 example.
Doc, the pleasure is all mine, and thanks for your comments and questions.
BTW: When are you getting your next HK??!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
