What is this gun?

Madcow · 08-08-2010, 10:58 AM

I've never seen one like this, but I am no expert by any means.

Nice gun,

If there was an award for auction photo presentations, this seller deserves it.

drbuster · 08-08-2010, 11:52 AM

This seller does superb photo and detail work. He should be congratulated!

Jim,

Krieghoffs are fairly rare...well, scarce anyway. There's a book written just about them "The Krieghoff Parabellum", by Randall Gibson. Also there is a section on this forum dealing with them.

simpson's has a section for them:

OK, honest question, it occurred to me I don't know the answer.

Is the barrel crown on HK's in the white or blued?

I guess I should clarify the question, Ive never seen one without the Krieghoff/shul.

me neither and this one has it?

The design changed several times, if that is what you're asking.

As an aside, sometimes more wording in a question helps folks; as I took it that you'd never heard of a Krieghoff before

Hi Jim, As Ed said, the Krieghoff toggle design changed several times, here are some of them. Regards, Norm

This would be the correct logo for this SN range. FWIW wood grips would also be correct.

Madcow · 08-09-2010, 09:10 PM

Is this a good price for this gun?

It's not crazy. Regards

tau-delt · 08-10-2010, 11:03 AM

It's a hard gun to find and all things being as they should be I would say the price is not out of line..... The HK mag does not match but it is close...

Madcow · 08-13-2010, 02:46 PM

Well I guess that is what I get for advertising this gun. Someone got it out from under me.

tau-delt · 08-13-2010, 03:13 PM

I rechecked the listing and it says there were no bids so it should still be up for grabs.......

alanint · 08-13-2010, 05:14 PM

...and nobody on this forum would be that underhanded.....

LugerVern · 08-13-2010, 08:59 PM

Notice the broken roll die?

Not many made after this one with the same die.

I called the dealer today. It sold.
