Post-War Krieghoff Commercial Luger, #114, 9mm, 4'' barrel, salt blue finish with straw small parts, factory checkered walnut grips, with one unnumbered aluminum based blue-bodied extruded magazine. Blank chamber, Krieghoff anchor to central toggle link, standard ''Gesichert/Geladen'' marked thumb safety and extractor; frame and upper receiver with Luftwaffe inspection markings. Mfg'd from surplus parts immediately following the cessation of hostilities, and sold to occupational forces (possibly through PX sales) as a great bring-home post-war type trophy item. Considered very rare. Some experts speculate that less than 230 were mfg'd. Condition is excellent showing little use, retaining approx. 97% original blue. Grips are crisp with some oil staining. Action is crisp, bore is bright. 1917 dated holster remains in excellent condition showing repair to lifting strap. Est.: $3,000-$4,000. (C&R/PPT) (John Siroonian estate)
