Rare Early Production "S" Code Krieghoff Luger Serial Number 148

This is 148th Krieghoff "S" code Luger as manufactured in limited quantities for the Luftwaffe, with a low three digit serial number. This Luger has the early "S" code over the chamber indicating manufacture in 1936. It has the early toggle markings with the "H/Krieghoff Anchor/K" over "SUHL". The left point of the anchor nearly touches the letter "H" and the word "SUHL" has the flat bottom on the letter "U". The right side of the barrel extension is marked with the early "LWaA" 1st-stage 1 early Luftwaffe acceptance proof followed by the Luftwaffe test proof and small "eagle/2" proof. The underside of the barrel is marked with only the bore diameter and the "Eagle/2" acceptance proof. It has the typical military style serial number placement with the full serial number on the front frame and the left side of the barrel extension with the last two digits on the various smaller parts. The pistol is fitted with a set of slightly thicker checkered walnut grips with the left side having the serial number penciled on the back side with the right grip unnumbered. The pistol is complete with one unmarked nickel plated magazine body with cast aluminum base that is numbered with the Krieghoff Luftwaffe "Eagle/2" proof over serial number "6969".

ConditionVery fine overall with 85% of the original blue finish with brown patina on the front and rear grip strap with some thinning and blue loss on the side plate, center section of the barrel and muzzle area. The grips are very fine overall with nice original, even honest wear across the tops of the checking with minor handling marks. A rare original early S-code Krieghoff Luger.
