SCARCE KRIEGHOFF LUGER, DATED 1942, FULL MATCHING RIG.KRIEGOFFLUGER116799MMW/HOLSTER & EXTRA MAGMODERN; C&RCal. 9mmP. Krieghoff only made about 300 1942 dated Lugers in the serial range 11,100-11,300 and 11,500-12,000. This particular example is well documented, a known gun for many years, listed by serial number in The Krieghoff Parabellum text by Gibson on page 72. One of its magazine bases is pictured on page 57. As true for all the military Krieghoffs, this example has a 4″ bbl having a drift adjustable front sight and a fixed rear sight. The full serial number appears on the left side of the receiver and is repeated in small digits under the bbl and again on the forward frame. The middle toggle link is marked with the usual HK logo over "KRIEGHOFF SUHL". Disassembly shows all matching serial numbers except for unnumbered black grips. Each of the two matching magazines has its blued body marked "122/Eagle 37" and an aluminum base marked with the correct "E/2" mark above the full serial number. Close comparison of the magazine bases shows minor differences in the "6" and "9". There is no takedown tool. The rig comes in an original black holster whose inner surface is unmarked except for the Eagle/2 acceptance. CONDITION: Excellent original condition with bbl extension a slightly darker hue than usual over surface etching, consistent with poor part preparation and normal variation seen in the late-date Krieghoffs. Negligible fading of front and back straps. Enhanced strawed parts now in the same condition as the balance of pistol. Excellent original grips with only minimal loses. Near mirror bore. Perfect manual mechanics. Near excellent holster, polished but presents well, with no suggestion of repair. An extremely nice, very well documented 1942 Krieghoff Luger rig with two matching mags and correct holster, known for many years and difficult to find under any circumstance. 52527-6 LMA (7,500-10,000)
