Doubs,

[quote]I have read that early occupation force GI's had Lugers assembled from factory parts or maybe even had skilled German workers put them together. I don't recall where I read it so it may be rumor. <hr></blockquote>

Please check the Krieghoff forum (Topic: Krieghoff/Mauser KU Quality) for a copy of a letter from H. Kreighoff that will add to your rumors a ring of truth regarding the early occupation forces and building of Lugers from parts...
