*EXCEPTIONALLY RARE AND DESIRABLE 1940 KRIEGHOFF LUGER MILITARY PISTOL.

SN 11168. Cal. 9mm. Highly desirable, rare Krieghoff Luger with 3-7/8″ bbl and orig front sight. It has 1940 chamber date with the usual Krieghoff trademark on toggle link, an anchor with “HK” over “KRIEGHOFF / SUHL”. It is mounted with checkered black composition grips and has straw colored small parts. Accompanied by two matching numbered magazines, a black, unmarked Krieghoff holster and a Krieghoff proofed tool. According to Lugers at Random, Kenyon, there were only a total of about 9,000 4-digit dated Krieghoff Lugers were manufactured 1936-1945, of which only about 4,000 were produced in the period 1938-1945 on contract for the Luftwaffe. These later pistols are quite scarce and finding one with two matching magazines is extremely rare. Apparently most were lost with the aviators to whom they were issued. CONDITION: Extremely fine, all matching including firing pin and two magazines. Grips are properly unnumbered. Overall retains about 98% crisp, orig, dark finish with only faint sharp edge wear and slight wear on side plate. Grips are crisp showing only faint diamond point wear.
