Krieghoff Commercial

[John D.]

Hey Doug (and Pete )..!

I'm the guy that replied On Mr. Still's excellent Forum about your back-framed stamped HK rework. My answer remains the same:

"Hello Doug,

I agree with Jan for 4 reasons:

The size of the "SUHL" in comparision to the "KREIGHOFF";

The 2 "Fs" in KRIEGHOFF is typical of a factory "strike", rather then some of the more obvious attempts from those counterfeit frames;

The "O" is correct in both shape and relation to the baseline of "KRIEGHOFF"; and

The "E" stroke on the center extender of the "E", appears to be correct (longer) then the bottom extender with the top extender "feint" as struck.

Therefore, your frame looks correct to me as well.

I hope this helps,

- John"

As well - please let both sites know if you are able to locate the upper for this HK...

Nice one!
