Jim, Do you have a reference as to where the LZAs were located? Any in a city or region begining with Ku? Another possibility, since the "ku" appears as both a prefix and a suffix on the PO8 barrel extention, depending on the placement of the serial number on the barrel extention, is that "ku" could be a manufacter's code, like ac or byf on P38s. I know that on newly manufactured lugers this would normally appear on the mid toggle link, but these pistols were "manufactured" using previously marked Mauser spare parts, and rather than go to the trouble of remarking the toggle, just placing a manufacture's code on the receiver, could indicate who assembled them. Does anyone know of any other weapons showing a "ku" code, particularly for the Luftwaffe? TH
