Re: KI 1933 Luger
Ted: the Umlaut doesn?´t work (so it?´ll have to be a vowel + e). Goertz dedicated one complete chapter in the second edition of â??Die Pistole 08â? to â??Varia and Curiosaâ?: the â??DanzigTest Lugerâ?, the â??Eastern Air Force Luger (Mauser code 42/41), the â??Frankenshclossâ?, Ku (with an Umlaut), Kl, the â??Spandauâ?, â??Death?´s Headâ? and a number of others are all dealt with. The main points he makes on the Kl Lugers: they are all 1933 stamped DWM or Erfurt. There never was a â??Kadetten-Institutâ? (the were called â??Kadettenhaeuse, Kadettenanstalt etc and these were closed after WWI). It is also highly unlikely that they were concentration camp (Konzentrations Lager) issue. The unit stamp is placed above the date and not on the front grip strap. There is no plausible explanation at the present time. Patrick
