Thanks Jerry
I may take you up on that (I really need more to talk to you about using your holster repair skills on a piece I have!)I am going to try and get the magazine today. General Galland was an excellent commander and pilot but his comment on the KU abbreviation means nothing to me about these Lugers. If Galland's memory was correct (about costal police) someone should be able to very easily verify its exsistance, I can not, but I can verify every "other" German unit in the Army, Navy, Luftwaffe, SS and Police to to Battlion size. I need to shut up and read the article, but I cringe because once something is in print in a respected publication it tends to get repeated and re-published and becomes part of the "lore". I attribute much of the mis-imformation I have written of in earlier post to this phenomenon. As far as all of my study and experience has revealed, it is un-precendented to have a German Unit's abbreviation used as part of a Serial number.
