Do the Krieghoff barrels have matching engraving and gold banding?
None of the barrels have a gold band, but all barrel engraving (barrel ends and wedges) are identical and all three sets of barrels are serial numbered to the gun, have the machining and are marked "A1 Special Custom Shop, NJ"

That last part explains it, so it is not likely to be one of the sets sold in the white. It is one of the Custom Engraved guns. Very, very, nice!

Rex, I happened to be visiting this thread again and couldn't help but notice how stunningly beautiful the case colors are on your gun, they compliment the A-1 features perfectly. I recall Ken Hurst mentioning on many occasions of utilizing John Gillette's Classic Guns, Inc. services for casecoloring, so I'm assuming that's who applied them.
