Continued.... Details.

Detail of the inscription. Note closely the formation of the characters. There are only a few verified pieces that stray from this stylized type style - including DWM, Presentation and Post War. In the "P" Code Series one - no variations are noted (P305 as noted Presentation). If you spot one - be very leery of counterfeits.

Locking Bolt well. The Four Point star is somewhat rare - but other verified P Series 1 Commercials are noted with this stamp - as are Military Commercials and a very few Post War. No P Series 2 Commercials have been noted to date with this stamp.

Rear Frame Well.....

Correct "GESICHERT" die. This can be a tip-off if the frame is not correct and the HK P-Code is counterfeit as well.

Barrel. No witness marks - and the barrel stamps are correct - CN with the LWaA2 stamp. Notice the absence of the barrel gauge and the HALO around the CN.

Undercut of the forward grip strap. The subtle "V" is unique to Krieghoff, as compared to other era manufacturers.
