Manufactured around 2006-2007, this pistol is one of a 200 piece run replicating the Krieghoff Luger of World War II. Chiefly a producer of sporting arms, Krieghoff had been tapped by the Luftwaffe to produce their sidearms, with the output ranking among the best military-issue Lugers in terms of fit and finish. While not intending to become a commercial pistol maker, Krieghoff is known to have released a number of surplus or rejected frames to the general market, often featuring a 5-pointed star on the right side of the extension, which was included on these pistols along with the contemporary "eagle/N" commercial proof on the appropriate parts. Fixed sights, with a blank chamber, the distinctive "H(anchor)K/KRIEGHOFF/SUHL" mark on the front toggle link, straw and niter blue finished small parts, and a set of checkered plastic grips with smooth borders. Both of the included magazines have bright polished bodies and matching numbers on the alloy bases, and the takedown tool bears a small Krieghoff proof. The case that holds this set is fairly unique in design, being made from two blocks of machined aluminum precision-cut to hold the pistol and accessories, with a matching number and Krieghoff logo engraved into the top, mechanical and magnetic closure mechanisms, robust hinges and a cloth outer sleeve/transport case. Also include with the item is an English language manual, advertising material and a certificate of authenticity.
