The KÃ?Â¼ Luger and its origins

Pete Ebbink · 08-26-2003, 02:37 AM

In Robert Marvin's booklet of luger proofs on page 85, Mr. Marvin postulated that what appeared to be Krieghoff proofs on the Ku pistols were not exactly such and might have been a proof for another service (i.e. coastal flying service...).

Would anyone that does have a Ku take detailed, close-up photos of these proofs; so folks could see if they are real HK proofs or not...

Mr. Marvin speculated that Ku pistols were Mauser-made...he then states that HK may been invovled in the production of these Mauser-made guns...(but the Jone's letter would seem to settle that issue...).

So maybe Mauser made the Ku's for another service and used a "similar" proof to HK proofs...(?????).
