Forward Breech Block. This area has several correct proofs/inspection marks â?? alongside the Military serialization. These are from this period only â?? and may be different on your Krieghoff, depending on the variation and date of production.
On the center link, please note the serialization in addition to the LWaA stamp
Rear Toggle link and coupling Link. Please note the LWaA stamp locations on both and correct serialization on the toggle link. This is somewhat consistent throughout the HK manufacturing years
An interesting
Axel pin. Rather than bearing the two-digits of the serial number, this Axel Pin is rather proofed with a 1mm LWaA 2. Not the first time noted for HKs, it is uncommon.
Toggle marking: HK went through several variations of their toggle stamp. For 1938 HKs, although limited in verified examples, it would be â??C-2â? as noted by Gibson. No variations of the toggle stamp exist for 1938 production that have been verified, to date.
Take Down The distinctive "HK" take down. Note the strong straw.
The Take down lever detail. Notice the correct, for that production period HK, military serialization.
