Desirable Pre-World War II "1937" Dated Krieghoff Luger Semi-Automatic Pistol

Manufactured in 1937, this is one of approximately 2,500 Lugers made by Krieghoff that year for the German Luftwaffe. These pistols fall within the 7300 to 10000 serial number range and were part of the first contract for 10,000 pistols. "1937" chamber date, with the toggle bearing the C-2 type "H(anchor)K/KRIEGHOFF/SUHL" marking. Luftwaffe "eagle" and "eagle/2" proofed. Besides the non-matching magazine, there are otherwise all matching visible serial numbers on the frame, barrel, toggles, breech block, rear toggle pin, side plate ("37" added to exterior surface), safety, trigger, takedown lever, firing pin and firing pin retainer. Serrated blade front and notch rear sights, checkered brown plastic grips and a non-matching numbered replacement "eagle" proofed alloy Haenel magazine.

ConditionVery fine with original finish, some light edge wear, some minor freckling and handling marks. Bolt hold open non-functional with the replacement magazine inserted (works with a standard magazine inserted), otherwise mechanically excellent.
