Default Good Information

That is good information and is supported by other sources that detail WWII German small arms reclaimation efforts. I find these weapons that lived two of more lifes very compelling. I think (for what it worth) I agree with what you have put forth. There were really two styles of KU assembly, one was more crude, esp. in regard to oversize numbers than the other. As I said, my KU was never numbered on the barrel or rear toggle link....which indicates in part that it was not factory level work, workers, or inspectors involved. The Luftwaffe inspector stamps that came with Luftwaffe inspectors! May have been used at the camp related assembly endever simply because they were avaiable and knew Luger acceptance standards ( I would bet that some of these guys came from Kregoff because they were not that busy circa 43 -44 inspecting the handfull of Lugers a year made by them at that date! As to who got these KU Lugers it could have been anybody. I will say that much of the camp assembled small arms went to the W-SS.

Anyway thanks again for the post and information.
