Krieghoff Model 32 Shotgun

The Krieghoff legend began in the early 1950’s when a group of shooting enthusiasts took the design of the discontinued Remington Model 32 to Europe in search of a gun maker. In Ulm, West Germany, they found one of the world’s leading arms manufacturers, and within a few years the first Krieghoff Model 32s were produced.

Krieghoff Model 32 Serial Numbers

The Krieghoff K-80 and K-20 has been developed to be a modular system. It consists of an Action, a Set of Barrels and a Stock & Forearm. All Actions and Barrel Sets are given a unique serial number when in production in the Krieghoff Factory. The Action's serial number consists of 6 digits, all numeric where as the Barrels serial number also consists of 6 digits, starting with letter A, followed by 5 numbers.

For faster build times, we keep an inventory of various barrel configurations and engraving patterns. So when you order a specific K-80 configuration you will not have to wait for the whole gun to be produced in the Krieghoff factory. Since any action can be fitted with any barrels upon ordering, the action and the barrels will of course be put together and the serial numbers will be at random, so they will never match.

  2. May 06, 2019 Thank you, Bill. We have sort of figured out the Munchen grade guns came late onto the Model 32 scene, with most having serial numbers in the 9XXX and 10XXX range. We also believe that most all were imported by Hal as 4-barrel sets (28' of course). It takes two things to be valuable: 1) Rarity 2) Demand.

The Action serial number is found on the left side, underneath where the barrel wing contacts the action. The Barrels serial number is found underneath the right side barrel wing. As illustrated above.

Older Krieghoff shotguns such as K-32's may have been build to specification in the Krieghoff factory, which will mean their action and barrels serial numbers may match.
