In any way there is a spelling mistake, often seen with US writers: The name is Krieghoff, never Kreighoff

SXS40, It would help if you post photos of the markings, including Proof Marks. Mike
Furmann, That is the type mistake I often make. Mike

My understanding, which helps me when spelling, is the second vowel is a long vowel and the sound we pronounce. As in Kreeghoff. If it was spelled Kreighoff, we would pronounce it with an eye.
Dont know if thats any kind of rule but it generally works for me.

Dont know if thats any kind of rule but it generally works for me. That is the rule. "I before E, sounds like an E. E before I, sounds like an eye." Keeping those combinations straight can be important.

Old rule "i before e except after c"

It was very difficult to photograph the barrel flats do to the light reflection off of the jeweling. Hope this is readable.
