Krieghoff S-Code Question...

05-01-2002, 01:22 PM

Have a lead on a S-code, early Krieghoff luger (serial number very low as XXX) that the seller states has Ritzmann grips (and no, this luger is not with one of the big dealers...).

My only Krieghoff book by R. Gibson indicates that the Ritzmann should have appeared in the middle-series S-codes and disappeared by late 1936 or early 1937.

What do you folks think ?

I think an S-code with XXX-serial number is too early to have originally had the Ritzmann grips...
