Manufactured in 1936, this is one of approximately 2,900 Lugers with this chamber marking produced by Krieghoff that year for the German Luftwaffe in the lead up to World War II. Including the "S", "36", and "1936" chamber marked pistols, a total of approximately 7,400 Lugers were produced that year. The chamber is marked "1936" and the late "broken handguard" type C-1 "H (anchor) K/KRIEGHOFF/SUHL" marking is on the toggle. The right side of the chamber has three Luftwaffe acceptance/test proofs while the left has the full serial number which is repeated on the front of the frame and bottom of the barrel. More Luftwaffe acceptance/test proofs are present on the right of the frame, breech block, and barrel. It has the correct "GESICHERT" safety marking. It is fitted with serrated blade front and notch rear sights and checkered brown plastic grips. Includes a Krieghoff "eagle/2" proofed brown leather holster (indecipherable name lightly scratched on outside of flap) and two total nickeled magazines with aluminum bases marked "eagle/2" and both renumbered to match the gun.

Very fine, retains 80% plus of the original blue finish with scattered light dings and scratches, 60% of the original straw colors with the balance having thinned to a smooth grey patina primarily at the muzzle and on edges in the form of holster type wear. The grips are excellent with a few scattered light handling marks and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent. The holster is good with extensive flex markings and darkening.
