Description:

This is a very rare late Series II "P" Code commercial Luger pistol. It is estimated that a total of only 100 were ever manufactured in their own serial number range of P1 to P100, making this a late example. While Krieghoff was primarily a sporting arms maker, there was never an intention to bring large quantities of Krieghoff Lugers to the commercial market; the ones Krieghoff delivered to the public were rejects or overruns, with the absence of rejection stamps pointing towards this being one of the latter. These pistols exhibit the Krieghoff blue finish with the straw colored small parts and fitted with checkered grips with smooth borders. These models are easily identified since they are absent of any Luftwaffe proofmarks. They use the very rare late production C-5 type toggle markings and they have the "eagle/N" commercial proof on several areas of the pistol. "Eagle/L2" proofs are present on the right side of the frame and receiver and on a number of other parts. The full serial number is marked on the front of the frame, and "63" is on the left side of the barrel extension. The blue magazine body is unmarked, with a black plastic base.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with 90% plus of the bright original blue finish, showing holster wear on the edges and handling marks overall. The straw parts retain 80% of the bright original color, darkening on the safety and bright on the edges. The grips are very fine, with some scuffs and dents, and some marks are present on the screws.
