12/11/17 - Listed here is a nice example of the very well known and highly sought after Luftwaffe Inspected Ku marked Luger.  This is one of the approx 5,000 that were produced with the Ku suffix.  The pistol is completely matching to include the rare numbered aluminum bottom fxo coded magazine.  The frame and toggle are byf 41 marked and the barrel is 655 coded.  The finish on the gun rates at 85-90%, with notable thinning/browning on the straps.  If not for the thinning on the straps though this would be a nice, 97% gun.  The bore is excellent.  Three Luftwaffe inspection stamps and the use of replacement parts and a blue finish that was not as well done as Mauser production are all the classic signs of the Ku luger.  There has been more speculation about the origin and circumstances surrounding these Lugers than any other WW2 Variant Luger.  The prevailing theory is that they were assembled in very early 1943 for the Luftwaffe out of leftover Mauser parts by an unknown contractor that the code Ku stands for.  This has been assumed to be the firm of  Adolph Kurschner – Metalwaffenfabrik in Bavaria, but this may never be definitively verified.  Comes with an excellent 1941 dated holster and a spare (correct) Ku magazine.
