There is a sliding cover/latch like a K 80 or Remington 3200 but I was told this gun preceded the 3200. Any information would be appreciated. Al

The story about the hooded latch is quite interesting. Demon Petrick invented it, and Remington took it (big American industry verses small foreign maker, with a predictable outcome). Remington even had the gall to sell the idea to Krieghoff! Last edited by Lloyd3; 04/29/13 04:22 PM.

In discussion with Geoffroy Gournet he said the one I have is the highest grade he has encountered. There is no name I can find but it is 100% engraved. The Petrik mark is on the barrels with dual French proofs. Thanks again all. al

Remington gave the design of the entire 32 to Europa Corporation, who contracted with Krieghoff to resume production of the 32. The rest is history.....
