Help with ID (Krieghoff)

[bob]

Dear Sir,

I am in need of some help identifying a Luger that I have obtained

from a widow of an army veteran. This weapon has the usual "I brought it home from the war"

story or at least that is what the old fella told me before he passed on, He did serve

from 1943 to 1946 in the army and was with Patton's troops as a Radio Operator.


Anyway, This pistol appears to be a Model P-08 (New style) in 9mm and looks like a 1914 model

with the stock lug and hold open.


Here is where it gets strange, so I will try to cover all the markings.....


Barrel- Crown N laying on its side at the 11 o'clock position (looking from the chamber)


A Luftampt 2 at the 1 o'clock position. No serial number on bottom of barrel


Chamber- **** Here is the kicker- A Krieghoff logo (Anchor HK) and just Suhl under it.


The same logo as on the 'S' code Krieghoffs (just not on the toggle)


Receiver- Crown N on its side (crown toward the barrel) No Serial number (left side)


2 (Two) Luftampts on right side.


Toggle- Blank top and a "4" under the rear link and a Luftampt under the front link.


Bolt- "Geladen" on extractors left side


Frame- Serial Number (55XXp) under the barrel, last 2 numbers are only found under


the takedown lever, inside the side plate,


on the top left of the trigger, Nowhere else. There also looks like an 'S'


with its center section missing just infront of the trigger guard.


Grips- Very thick walnut with larger checkering, inside both grips have a Wa-?65


waffenampt.


The weapon is in almost mint condition, with a little thinning to the blue and 60/70% of

the strawing present, Bore is like glass, Bright and well grooved.

I have looked at some books on the Wartime lugers and I can't find one with these markings.


If possible could you help me identifying this pistol.


Thanks in advance
