Brad Simpson,...HK Luger Follow-Up...?

I have taken a close look at the photo's in the Krieghoff Parabellum book and have to agree with Brad on one point. The angle of the serial numbers is very identicle to each other. This could hardly be a coincedence. Another thing to consider is, Krieghoff would not be so lax as to serial number their pistols with the same serial # without a suffix. Besides they didn't make enough pistols to have to renumber them. I personally think Brad has something here. Also if you look at the machining marks around the safety they are the same on both pistols. It is a shame that Ralph is cast in this shadow but if you look at it reasonably someone else may have had this pistol in between Mr. Skinner and Ralph. Ralph may have not been involved in it's modification just because he ended up with it. Jerry Burney
