odd ball KU

Lugerdoc · 08-12-2012, 07:16 AM

Philly et al, I'm of the "school" that the original ku marked lugers were built by a Luft repair depot using spare parts from Mauser, after they ceased PO8 production in 1942. So most parts would be of that era, with a few new Kreighoff parts (have observed a few) as necessary. I suspose that it's possible, that these depots also reworked some earlier PO8s, renumbering them in the "ku" range, but don't know why that would be necessary. TH
