For those of you who are interested there is a great one page article in Auto Mag this month on the KU luger by John Pearson. His theory is that the KU is for the German coastal police. The German word for coastal is Kuste, This arm of the service was under the Kusten, plural. (with oomlats) Thus the abbreviation of KU. He goes further and states these pistols were made by mauser since they have S/42 on the bottom of the barrel and W/154 acceptance mark. S/42 indicates a Mauser spare part and 1935 was the only time Mauser used the W/154 acceptance mark. So it is quite likely these pistols were not made by Krieghoff and if I remember correctly Randall Gibson states these pistols do not have the same machining charecteristics as Krieghoff pistols. This is a good article. Find a copy. Jerry Burney
