This is a very nice example of a prewar "Krieghoff" Luger. This pistol was manufactured in 1936 with an estimated total production during this year of approximately 2900 pistols. Krieghoff was the primarily supplier to the Luftwaffe during WWII and they are prized for their fine fit and finish. This chamber area is stamped with the full "1936" date with the front toggle marked with the C-1, 1936 pattern "H, anchor, K/KRIEGHOFF/SUHL", where the "Krieghoff" name runs from the full left side to the right side of the top of the toggle. The right side of the barrel extension has the serial number of the frame and the left side has the "Krieghoff Eagle/2, Eagle firing proof and Eagle/2 proof". The right side of the barrel also has the same "Eagle/2" proof. The underside of the barrel has the bore diameter and the correct serial number "7300" but of the much smaller size and style numbers. It is fitted with the correct WWII Krieghoff brown coarse checkered plastic grips. It is fitted with a WWII Mauser magazine with a blued body and the aluminum extruded base that is numbered "3569/q/Eagle 655".

Very fine as assembled with 90% of the blued finish overall with edge and high spot wear overall with thinning and blue loss on the rear grip strap, stock lug, the side plate and muzzle and front edges of the frame rails. The grips are in excellent condition with nice distinct checkering with no visible handling marks. Mechanically excellent. This pistol has all matching parts except the side plate that is numbered "41" and the magazine as noted above.
