All,

Am pleased to report completion of the payments for the only existing magnesium frame Kreighoff in existance. It is portrayed in Gibson, p 246.

Photos to follow when time permits (Am supporting 3 clients simultaneously at present).

Sounds great, this is the one in Gibson? Very cool, payments must have been something to think about

All,

This is a *very* special piece, certainly the center of my small Kreighoff grouping. It seems somewhat odd that the really rare pieces are available if you have the $$ but the" less rare but still damn hard to find" are almost impossible.

FWIW, John D. was a facilitator in making this happen. Mega-thanks to our site proprietor!

Tom,

It will be interesting to hear from handling experience how the magnesium frame affects the weight and balance of a Luger.

Dwight,

I am interested in getting the weight ratios recorded and documented. I think that the mag frame would tend to make the cannon seem a bit muzzle heavy. Will know when it arrives.
