Hi Franz,

What you have is a nice mid-series "S", that has been refinished. Issue dates were estimated to be in 1936 (production may have been in y/e 1935), and there are 3 "S" variations - your's being the middle of that range. Military serialized and issued Kriegs were blued, rather then chromed/nickel plated - except for the presentation Kriegs that were plated (gold/silver/platnium..) (these, of course, were not-military issued, and yours, unforunately - isn't one of those).

Also - I can't tell the type of material you have for grips??

Hope this helps, and all Kriegs are terrific!! Since it came from your Grand-dad, I'm sure it's special..!! Nice HK.!
