Gentlemen:

I tend to collect Imperial Lugers and accidentally came to own a Krieghoff. The information I have about the gun comes from Still's "Weimar Lugers" and personal correspondence. I put this information out to supplement in a small way the Krieghoff data bases and also to learn more about this gun from your postings.

The gun is a c. 94% condition rework of a DWM artillery Luger with a notched frame and a replaced, unnumbered rear toggle section (to provide a rear sight). There is no chamber date, likewise, the proofs on the right frame are gone and replaced with an Eagle/9 (the "9" is not a type-o). The serial number is 1682 i (curious how a WWI rework fits into the Krieghoff i block). The gun is all matching with a replaced barrel marked C/N and 8.82. There are no Kreighoff logos or stamps anywhere, only two lazy "C/N's" forward of the sideplate and one next to the extactor.
