Hi Stuart,

To your question 1 - yes, chamber coded "S" Krieghoffs went to the Luftwaffe as part of their original military contract, as did "G" dates, "36", 1936, 1937, etc...

As to question 2 - I'm not sure what you mean by "parts" guns? If you are talking about the DWM 1920/1921 "reworks", yes, those were for commercial sales. Am I mis-reading your question, as I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "parts guns"??

Let me know, OK??!! [img]smile.gif[/img]
