odd ball KU

[phillyriverrat57]

when it comes to lugers, i have heard it all, most dealers don't know what they are talking about, and most people are ready to down something really fast. the markings were compared to 2 other lugers in a very well known gun shop, the owners father has been in buisness since the 1930's and heis son now runs the shop, he brought in 2 KU guns from his peosonal collections, the marks were the same, as far as the serial number, it is what it is, but i do not give a opinion when i do not know, and i get defensive when people jump right away and state something is fakle. i got this gun off a ver who is 92 years old, have been a family friend for morw than 60 years, and he is currently looking for the US goverment bring back papers for it...i guess the goverment was lieing in the 1940's too

The latitude given to the Brotherhood here is to be emulated or perhaps replicated on any board. We seek, we learn, we share. Thanks for being here for me, for all.

Perhaps you should get together with myky and compare Krieghoff's...His is an original, too...

being that i came in here here to inquire about something i can find little info about, and after being condemed so fast,on a pistol i bought, and knowing little about it and something the german kept no records on and probably built on a armoury level, i seriously doubt i will really be comming back in there with the attitude i got. these are not a standard luger, and instead of helping someone, it seems like people here are more interested in pissing people off than trying to help or figure out a mystery

The 'attitude' is skepticism, because, in the past, mechanics have come here with pics of the boosted Luger they are trying to peddle for 4 or 5 times what it would bring if unaltered. They post pics and give a story (always a story!) and solicit opinions.

People here are just curious about the KU Krieghoff's...

Could you post the name & address of the shops with the markings that are the same as yours???

I did business with a shop just shy of City Center on Broad St...Bought a Browning there...And the Philly Police Dept walked my permit through (I was active duty/Philly Naval Base)...
