Krieghoff â??Early Sâ?� to "Mid-S".....

[John D.]

Inside of side-plate â?? note the placement of the LWaA 2 on both the lever and the sideplate.




The external of the sideplate shows the traditional "Early S" last two digit serialization on the outside, rather then all subsequent HK production, which was inside:



Trigger. Two photos, as this has two markings. One is common to all HKs (digits)







Thumb safety lever: Another classis Early example. Of interest on this specific HK, the full serial is hand scratched on the internal, as the photo below shows:




Safety. Interesting as it includes both the correct LWaA 2 and, as not often found, the external last two digit serialization:







Hold Open: Correct placement and size of the LWaA2. As opposed to other early â??Sâ?�, this is not a strawed part.
