KRIEGHOFF LUGER PRE WWII 9MM 5″ BARREL CIRCA 1935/1936

Description:

Very Scarce Pre-World War II “S” Code Krieghoff Luger Semi-Automatic Pistol with Two Matching Magazines

Manufactured in 1935/1936 as part of Germany’s clandestine re-armament program, this Krieghoff Luger is a testament to a pivotal era in history. One of approximately 4,000 made that year by Krieghoff for the Luftwaffe, it bears the “S” date coded chamber, Krieghoff logo “H (anchor) K” above “KRIEGHOFF/SUHL” on front toggle link, and “Eagle” and “Eagle/2” military proofs on various parts. All matching visible serial numbers, including both matching numbered magazines, add to their authenticity. The back side of each grip panel has the correct small circled “HRS” for the Herman Ritzmann & Sohne company and the “8964” contract number. It even comes with two opened boxes of WWII era 9mm ammunition (one box appears full, other partial), a tangible connection to the past.

Rating Definition:

Good, with original finish, gray and brown patina on the balance, some patches of mild deep pitting, scattered light pitting, and clear markings and edges. The grips are fine, with some light handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
