Krieghoff E2 proof?

Walt NW · 08-09-2005, 08:54 AM

Hello Dwight and Tom,
Chamber date is 1917/1920, serial #9414b, police marked for Dresden as S.P.D. Went through this to some degree back about 5 years ago with several members of the forum including Tom H., Ted, a fine gentleman, Bill M. who is apparently no longer in the group, and a phone call to Jan in Alaska. General consensis was that it was an early Krieghoff rework due to the placement of the crown N's on the right frame rail. However, at that time, I was unaware of the Krieghoff E/2 stamp so, without it, am trying to get verification as to whether or not this can be a Krieghoff. Guess the question is did they use the E/2 stamp on all their reworks or, on their early work, using the smaller version of the commercail crown N as a proof mark, did they not use it? Greatly appreciate all your help.
