This is an excellent example of a rare WWII 1943 dated Luftwaffe contract H. Krieghoff P.08 Luger that is complete with two matching magazines and a black leather commercial holster. By serial number, this pistol falls into the 1943 production block of serial number between 11300 to 11800, all produced as Luftwaffe contract Lugers. The top of the chamber is marked "1943" with the front toggle correctly marked with the late production C-2 style Krieghoff toggle marking that has the smaller "C" style radii anchor with the left point of the anchor, slightly outside the letter "H" with the right point touching the inside bottom corner of the "K", as shown on page 83 of the "Krieghoff Parabellum", (right column, third picture down). The right side of the barrel extension has the 1st "Lwa" stage II early acceptance proof next to the stage II mid-proof, next to the final acceptance proof. The underside of the barrel is marked with: "883/LWa2/11457", that is numbered in the smaller numbered size. The right side of the breechblock has the correct Luftwaffe "eagle/2" firing proof. It is fitted with the correct late production coarse checkered black plastic grips that are unmarked on the backside. As noted, it is complete with two original matching type three Army magazines that are stamped on the side of the body, "122/eagle/37". The aluminum bases are pinned through the center, and each one is stamped with an up right "eagle/2" Luftwaffe acceptance proof over the serial number "11457". It is complete with a very fine, late production, undated black Luger leather holster. There is a small, commercial maker's stamp inside the very back left corner that is only partially readable with no production date.

Excellent with 95% plus of the original blue finish overall, high spot holster wear visible on the muzzle area, frame rails and side plate hump. The grip straps show some very minor thinning blue mixed with some light brown oxidation spots. The smaller parts retain 60% of their straw colors overall with slightly more on the safety lever. The grips are in very fine condition with distinct checkering on both sides and some minor handling marks overall. The leather holster is in fine condition with tight stitching, showing light scratches on the face. Certainly an exceptional original 1943 dated H. Krieghoff and Luftwaffe contract Luger pistol rig with all matching numbers to include both magazines.
