Krieghoff Rework

Bob,
Just an added note.
Some years ago, I sent an inquiry for appraisal and ID to the folks that put out the Blue Book. After a couple months, they gave up on it as they could find nothing in the reference material at the time to prove or disprove that these markings verified the possibility of this being an example of the earliest variety of a Krieghoff rework, although if it was, certainly few would have been produced. Value of any collectible being in the eye of the beholder, for a dedicated Krieghoff collector, and IF some verification could be found that it was Krieghoff related, then it could have considerable value. Big "IF", but in the wonderful world of Lugers, stranger things have happened.
Have a good one.....Walt
