Ed,
I'm going to take the gun apart and do a comparison of parts as in my EG New production P.38. http://www.p38guns.com/AB9.htm Notice the unusual size of the take down lever in the photo of the Luger. Mark |

thanks Mark,
I notice that the sideplate and upper receiver are drilled and milled for the sear safety... but it is not installed... this is curious. I wonder if they were never installed? or if they were removed.

John,
I don't believe they were ever installed. A fellow collector Friedrich M?¼ller from Germany has made the following observations about the "N" series guns. - the frame is without lanyard loop and stock lug - milling on the top of the sideplate and holes in the frame for use of a Schiwy safety !! - lock bolt without the milling on the rear side - the unlock curves are reset 2 mm to behind, therefore the thumb safety lever way is somewhat shorter as usual - rear toggle only with â??outsideâ? checkering - the trigger is manufactured from investment casting with only minor rework - the milling for the extractor is prolonged to behind - the recoil spring shows 24 than the usual 18 windings - the trigger is excentric given after the pistols right side - inside the frame the milling is according to a Krieghoff - the coupling link pin is a riveted bold - there are serial numbers on frame and slide only - barrel length is 100 mm - post war mag. from the former Schmeisser factory with 2/1001 code - very rough finish on the outside - quite good internal finish of frame and slide - only Suhler proof marks no other inscriptions or marks Interesting, eh?

Very Interesting indeed... As good as you are with a camera and image software, you would find quite an audience on this forum for the kind of photo essay that is normally done by John D. with the Krieghoff pistols... This is certainly a specimen that deserves that kind of documentation if you are up to it and can afford the time. I for one, would be grateful to see that kind of photo forensics on this pistol.

John,
I had planned to take the pistol completely apart and do a photo essay comparing this new production's parts to a WWII gun, so using Friedrich M?¼ller's outline for photo forensics is not a bad idea! Time is a bit tight right now but most likely in the next few weeks I'll take the photos. Mark |
