This is a very fine representative example of a pre-war Krieghoff Luger that was manufactured in 1936. It is estimated that approximately 7,400 Lugers were manufactured by Krieghoff for the Luftwaffe in 1936; this includes all "S" code and 1936 dated models. Krieghoff was the only official supplier to the Luftwaffe during WWII, and they are prized for their fine fit and blue finish. The chamber area is stamped "1936" 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 and the frame have the full serial number, and the barrel is unnumbered. The right side of he barrel extension has the double "Krieghoff Eagle/2" acceptance proof with the single eagle firing proof in between. The right side and underside of the barrel has the same "Eagle/2" acceptance proof, and the diameter "882" is running lengthwise on the barrel. It is fitted with the correct WWII Krieghoff coarse checkered, brown plastic grips. It is complete with an original, matching, nickel plated, Krieghoff proofed magazine with an aluminum base marked "Eagle/2/4616.

Very fine with 95% of the blue finish overall with edge and high spot wear. The left side of the frame is refinished. The smaller parts have been restrawed and retain 98% of their straw colors overall. The grips are in excellent condition with nice, distinct checkering.
