Greetings - just joined the other day - have stuck my nose under the tent occasionally in the past, but since I have now officially become a Luger owner, figured I'd better make myself legit.

Long story short, got two from my my Grandfather's collection, even though he died 35 years ago.... Anyway, up until a couple days ago, I thought I had a commercial American Eagle and a Krieghoff 1936. Now, I'm pretty sure I have a comm. American Eagle, but the Krieghoff appears to be a Mauser with a Krieghoff front toggle. Oh, well.

I need to post some pics so I can get some help verifying my assumptions, but I'm on an iPad so I have no easy way to resize the pics. I'll try one and if it's too large I'll crank up the laptop and shrink em a bit. Like I said, I'm pretty sure it's a Mauser marked "1936" over the chamber, all numbered parts match, but somewhere in its past someone swapped in a Krieghoff. toggle and brown Bakelite grip panels. That's my guess. Anyone able to confirm.

THANKS!!
