Default Very rare H/K

Hi all,
A friend of mine recently acquired a very rare H/K. I was able to fondle it at the last local gun show that he brought it to. He asked that I put it on the forum to get feedback. He was a friend of Randall Gibson. When Randall Gibson started to get ill, he sold a large portion of his dagger collection to him.

Here is his letter to me with one photo... more photos in a few days. I told him how much you guys enjoy Luger porn.

Mike,
Enclosed is a photo of the Luger Randall Gibson in his book 'The Kriegoff Parabellum" describes what he called "merchandise Lugers". My H/K Luger #7192i fits into Randall's recorded range of 2000i to 10,000i (pg 139). The subject Luger, unlike those described in Randall's book, has neither the DWM logo (blank toggle) nor the back frame "Kriegoff Suhl". The chamber is undated. The caliber is 7.65 and is marked Germany on the right side frame rail. It has C/N proofing and is marked H/K on the right side receiver (see photo) and the same H/K inside the side plate. There is a "K" marked under the forward toggle link.
The Luger was bought at an estate auction in Midland, Tx then shown to Randall. The pistol is unlike Randall had ever seen and his examination was very favorable.
Randall provided more info about such Lugers on pages 142 and 143.
I'm anxious to know what you can find out.
Thank you very much,
