HK 1936 On Auction...

[John D.]

Great eye - Pete..!!! Ummm - I've only spent a few minutes looking at the website of this piece - and you are missing a "biggie" (Hint - left side, look at the sideplate...??? You'll catch it as soon as you see it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> ) And the Importers stamp and mag folks already caught...

As well - try this.... Take your "S" code and "compare" the following - (it's kind'a fun - and if you get all the answers right - I have NO IDEA what you win ....

OK - ready????

- Trigger - note especially the bottom end of the trigger....;
- Take down - forget the bevels for a second (good catch, again) - can you compare the checkering pattern..?? Once that's done - look veryyy closely at the final "polish" pattern. You'll see and edge on yours, next to the knob, is my bet...
- You have the same LWaA2 markings on your "S" - can you compare yours and the one shown in the picture;
- "881" take close look at the "1", and tell me what you see;
- Top of the toggle ears - tell me what appears to be "right" - and what the "red flag" is.
- Extractor - hmmm - take a close look at the side-view in the pictures? Given how they were fit at the factorry - do you think this "1936"s is original or not....???
- Thumb saftey - look at the outline - count the grooves..? I'm open on this one, as the photos are tough given the angle;
- Traces of white in the "Gesichert"? - I mean any traces...??
- "Gesichert" - correct or not, given placement of the "G" and where the "t" intersects the "indent"?
- Machining marks on the frame (left side? Correct or not, given a "1936"...??
- Radius cut-out on the rear sight block - correct HK, or is it DWM..?

I'll take a closer look later.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
