1944 and 1945 dated Krieghoff Lugers in the 13000 sn range
â??The Krieghoff military range may be described as split by a missing serial block (12000 serial range). On either side of this missing block is a set of weapons, each having dissimilar traits.â?(Gibson page 60). Four 1944 dated Krieghoff Lugers are reported in the 13010-13088 serial range and another 9 dated 1945 are found in the 13099-13158 serial range. These late Lugers are â??unique and display physical and markings features peculiar to themselves as a group.â? (Gibson page 60)

Have any of these unique 1944 and 1945 dated Krieghoffs in the 13000 serial range been found outside the United States? I would appreciate hearing from Luger collectors that have knowledge of such Lugers. Also would like to know the opinions of Luger collectors concerning the source of these unusual Lugers.
Thanks
