I am sorry for the poor information I am about write. I was in the Mercantile exchange in Eau Claire Wis on Saterday And looked at Several nice Lugers there. One was marked Hienrich Krieghoff on the left side of the frame. I'm sorry I didn't get the sierial # or the chamber markings etc. The store owner is bringing it to the Tulsa show to sell it. Sorry when I saw the $10,000 tag on it my eyes glazed over and I handed it back to him.
Left side of Frame marked Heinrich Krieghoff.

Hi Bob,
What you saw was a "side frame inscribed" commercial Krieghoff. If it was "correct", they do command a premium to HK collectors (although - $10,000 is a bit "way over the edge" from what they typically sell for, even in today's silly market..). Unfortunately - this is also one of the most often encountered "counterfeit" Krieghoff variations - so buyer beware. I'd be interested if any of the folks in this Forum are going to Tulsa and might see it first-hand - and what their impressions may be of this HK.
Thanks for the information!
