Relief Engraved and Gold Inlaid Commercial ''P'' Series Krieghoff Luger, #1034p, 9mm, 4'' barrel, salt blue finish, factory checkered walnut grips, and one blued wraparound bodied magazine with unnumbered blue steel base. Pistol shows approx. 90% coverage with relief engraved oakleaf motif pattern throughout with 18K gold applied wreath and swastika to sideplate, Nazi party eagle in gold to chamber area, scrolls with gold inlay to top of toggle area, as well as Krieghoff logo, name and address in gold. Rearmost portion of toggle link behind rear sight and dished round portions of magazine with gold applied swastikas. Barrel is profusely inlaid with double stripe borders at muzzle, with additional scrolling at muzzle and breach end. The only areas lacking coverage are the trigger, takedown latch, thumb safety and the area immediately behind it. Several embellished commercial Krieghoffs are known to have been presented to S.A. Gauleiters. It is also interesting to note that Hermann Goering had a very close relationship with the Krieghoff family and would periodically request such pistols for personal presentation. Condition is excellent as possibly externally refinished at one point. Grips remain crisp, bore with moderate frosting in grooves. Est.: $18,000-$24,000. (C&R/PPT) (John Siroonian estate)
