Russian capture "Ku" Luger (NOW WITH GOOD PICS)

heers68 · 12-10-2009, 06:14 PM

Thanks guys, Do you think the "Ku" aspect of this capture gun is a raising factor in the value??

DJU, Is your figure of $800 depending on it being a "Ku" gun? or is that an average value on a nice condition RC gun??

I will try to get pics so you folks can get a better idea about the gun...

Here are a few pics of this Luger,sorry so bad all I had with me was my cell.Really wondering about the matching mag(has the# 2/1001 on it near base no others, and is very different construction than other unmatched mag that is an earlier eagle"63" marked Mauser mag),notice electro pencile marks right behind sideplate,grips have NO markings on inside,also no serial on the barrel only crown"N" and import mark.let me know what you think.....

Hi, The KU is a definite plus, all the other issues you have noticed are minuses, as is the left grip with the chip below the safety. The pictures you have posted are not clear enough to really appraise this rig, but I think you are safe going to $1,000.00. Regards

Thanks Norme, I will try to get pics with my camera soon. Still amazed as a Russian capture that the numbers match!? Maybe because I,m a K98 guy too and they are TOTALLY mismatched as RC guns! Wonder if a different facility did pistols??What is your oppinion on the mag marked "2/1001"? Also,is it correct for there to be no serial# on the barrel on these Ku's?

DJU, appreciate your learned input! So you believe this to be rebarreled since there is no serial# on barrel?? Why are these mags so different in construction? I think numbers are forced on the 2/1001 mag and I am wondering if its a post WW2 mag?

Much appreciated! Kevin.

Most to all RC K98's are mismatched due to the fact bolts were thrown on one pile and rifles on another, then all was electropenciled to match when mis-mated. Try tearing the "bolt" if you will out of a Luger to seperate, just easier to take whole gun and electropencil and "X" stamp................
