1940 Krieg one of 100

[Dick Herman]

Myky, This is a most excellent Krieghoff rig. We all dream of finding rigs like this.

My 1940 Kreighoff is number 11247. We are covering a large segment of the estimated 100.

"Myky
Like Gary said, outstanding find!!!
Jan"

My statement made above was based on a cursory look at poor quality photographs. This is not an endorsement of this or any other Luger!!! I apologize for not being clear.


Details of the magazines markings would be of interest. See page 56 and 57 of The Krieghoff Parabellum and page 279 Third Reich Lugers.

Myky
Tom Whiteman lists this Luger (sn 11180) as a high quality reblue. His well researched list is on the other Luger Forum at:

Your comments please.

One can't help feeling sorry for poor Myky. Fifty four years experience but he still fell for that old vet's son's story. There's a lesson there for all of us. Regards, Norm

Well I may as well get the devil award as I bought this gun [ 11247 ] from Simpson LTD 4/3/95 for $1,295 . Actually it was a kicker in a trade to finish a deal and the person with me wanted it . He wanted it as a representative example and did not want to pay the much higher price of one with a stock lug . Reblued also . I cannot verify it [ he is now deceased ] but he did not keep it long and if I remember correctly the WaA USA branch in MN got it from him . Should be easy to back track ownership on this to verify all this ? SORRY but this is a true story .
