This is referred to as the 1936-1945 Dated Model. The four-digit date marking was introduced in the very early days of 1936. The first Krieghoff to bear a full manufacture date. These were made for the Luftwaffe German Air Force. Early models feature the salt blue commercial type finish. Has all matching numbers including the aluminum bottom magazine. The Imperial German stamp can be found under the barrel, along with '881' on left side of toggle; four times on right side of frame with '2'; right side of barrel; and right side with the grips off you can see the Imperial eagle '2' on both safety and sear. Top of chamber has the full date 1936. Top of toggle is stamped "HK Krieghoff Suhl" with anchor. Beautiful straw colors. This pistol has seen very little use, showing high edge muzzle wear, rail and sideplate hump. Still retains virtually all the original blue on grip straps. Has the original molded brown coarse checkered grips. Near mint bore and action. Very desirable Luger given low production numbers, field of service and high all original matching finish and condition.
