Hi Chris,
It looks like the real deal to me as does the tool, pictures of the holster aren't good enough to make a determination. If I was a Kreighoff collector I'd go 5K for it, but then I'm a gamblin man.

I am sure the price will go up. As a shooter it is worth more than that, and it is pretty.

Sergio Natali · 07-09-2019, 02:52 AM

Better photos would probably help, if it's really as nice as it seems to be the final price will be higher.

Easily a $5k pistol, if not more! John D. might be able to give you a better assessment, as he is a KH collector.

I am no expert, but does the 1936 look pantographed? Maybe it is just the lighting?

CJS57 · 07-13-2019, 12:07 PM

The 1936 is not pantographed. The 3 has sharp 90 degree corners which a pantograph cannot do.

Thanks...good to know

Last I saw, bidding was at 7275.00. Yikes!

Pistol · 07-14-2019, 10:24 PM

8500 now

If I lose on this one, should I go for the 1937 with a turkey vulture proof on the mag and SS runes on he barrel lug?

Sure, those are common afflictions with pistols that have scrubbed and re-numbered magazines.

Pistol · 07-16-2019, 11:43 AM

Well, looks like the 1936 has been discussed on the other forum and it has allegedly been refinished.

I disagree with those guys. The "thumbprint" on the rear frame is clearly visible and the E/2 on the right frame rail looks like it has been stamped through the blue, as is proper. Given the poor quality of the photos buying this gun would always be a bit of a gamble as I said in post #2. I have no connection with the seller or the buyer and I don't collect Krieghoff's, if I did I would have most likely taken a chance on it.

The right side barrel proof is the one that is supposed to be through the bluing on this gun - NOT the frame proof .

This is well covered in pics on the other forum .

I am not aware of ANY EL/2 acceptance stamps that are through the blue .

The right side barrel proof is an eagle - Not an EL/2 .

Mac Cat · 08-09-2019, 07:43 PM

This is the only luger I have ever seen with a stamp on the frame under the usual acceptance stamps. Is that unique to HK's ?

1933 FORD NUT · 08-10-2019, 12:19 AM

Normal on HK's .

It is the acceptance into inventory proof for parts .

BTW the receiver , barrel and frame being the same color is a HUGE red flag .
