1942, 1943, 1944 Krieghoff questions

Matt,
I know that I have a prized 1943 with both mags. I believe that TomA also has a set. But, like all very rare guns, the price is really unknown. The saying is that something is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it. The internet also has mixed prices up a lot.

Are you referring to certain HK's with or without mags? A range of 90-93% is sorta subjective. An eager sellers (don't wanter) price with his evaluation of percent blue will be different than a dealers. But just finding one of these guns that you mentioned is a big trick. Then, you had better know what you are looking at. Just look at pages 175 and 179 of Gibsons book and note the serial numbers on these 1940 and 1941 HK's. Lotsa fraud out there. Have a disinterested but knowlegable friend with you when you look at a HK and try to determine a price.
