Spectacular Rare "P" Code Krieghoff Luger Semi-Automatic Pistol Rig with Krieghoff Proofed Holster

This is an example of a very late production series one "P" code commercial Krieghoff Luger pistol with one matching magazine. These Lugers were a continuation of the early 1940 contract that were actually a very late pistol manufactured at the end of commercial production in 1943-44. These are noted and described on pages 220 and 221 of the book "The Krieghoff Parabellum" by Gibson. It is estimated that only approximately 200 of this series were manufactured. This specific pistol has the blank chamber and Krieghoff marked toggle with the rare vertical "Eagle/N" commercial proof that was only used for one year in 1943, which is stamped on the left side of the frame, barrel extension and on the underside of the barrel. The right side of the barrel extension has the Krieghoff rejection star. This pistol has the high polish Krieghoff blue finish with the straw colored smaller parts and is fitted with the earlier commercial brown plastic grips with the fine checkering and smooth outer border. This pistol is accompanied with one renumbered, blued magazine with an aluminum base stamped with the upside down "Eagle/2" proof over the full serial number (1127). This pistol is complete with an undated "Eagle/2" Krieghoff proof holster and "Eagle/2" Krieghoff proofed take down tool.
