Which 1940 Krieghoff

I recently acquired a 1940 dated HK, serial #11191. In Gibson's book, two "versions" of the 1940 are listed, on pages 172-73 and pages 174-75. The "commoner" version (estimated 1000 made)is in the serial range 10,000-11,000, the later "rarer" version, is in the serial range 11,000-12,000. The toggle marking is of the C2 type, the left arrow of the anchor touches the H. It has late LWaA1st proofs on the receiver. It has only the six pointed star on the right side of the frame, no numbers. It had an extruded type matching clip. No markings are in the forward or rear frame wells. Is this example from the earlier version of 1000 or the later version of 100. Any thoughts from the HK officiandos?
