Hi all,
I was at the gun show in Portland Oregon today and saw a 1937 Krieghoff. Unfortunately it has been re-finished. It was done well but appears to be a salt blue and not a rust blue, they did straw the parts that should have been strawed. I didn't look at the bore. The grip appeared to be the correct brown plastic. The gun comes with a Lufwaffe(sp?) marked holster and two 37 era Mauser magazines. Asking price was $2500. I thought this was very high for a refinished gun. I put the value with the holster and mags at around $1500. Dwight Gruber was at the show and we both looked at this piece. He thought it was worth less than I did. I wanted to get some feedback from people who know Krieghoff's better than I do. Have prices gone up so much that a refinished gun would command that type of price? Where should this type of gun be priced?

Thanks,
Bob M.
