Hey Big Norm..!

Those are definitely NOT silly questions! Can you hold those until I start a new thread and answer some? Just a pre-cursor though "post war" Krieghoff's are highly desirable - PX HKs, GI "parts guns", HK staff assembled for specific GIs are the 3 major post war variations (Gibson note's 2).

I will tell you some dealers, when they are authenticated - charge well over $3-$4K. There was also a post-war HK PX RIG that fetched well over $6500 - and in fact, the PX HKs were assembled from spares and assisted by production of "new" parts from local metal workers where no spares existed.

As well - in the HK post-war variation - folks can also lose their proverbial "shirt"...

And oh - I'd never suggest using an HK post-war Luger as a shooter. Especially some of the GI assembled firearms.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

Best to you,

John
