RARE 41-42 VARIATION LUGER ONLY 44 REPORTED SERIAL NUMBER KU3246 FULL RIG EXCELLENT

Description:
SEE VERY RARE 41-42 CODE VARIATION LUGER CALIBER 9MM, ONLY 44 REPORTED. THIS LUGER SERIAL NUMBER KU3246 FULL RIG WITH EXCELLENT CONDITION 1941 YEAR DATED HOLSTER, TWO FXO E/37 P08 STAMPED UNNUMBERED MAGAZINES. IT HAS LUFTWAFFE PROOF ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BARREL AND THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SLIDE. IN ALL MY TIME AS A LUGER COLLECTOR I HAVE SEEN THE ONLY A FEW KU LUGERS INCLUDING TWO OF THEM I HAVE IN MY COLLECTION. I PURCHASED BOTH OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME FROM US ARMY
GENERAL  HWO STARTED COLLECTING LUGERS FROM 1945. HE STARTED BUYING THESE LUGERS. DURING  SERVING IN US MILITARY  FROM THE OFFICERS PARTICIPATED IN WW2.  HIS COLLECTION WAS HUGE CONTAINING HIGH END & QUALITY MANY RAREST NAZI'S GUNS. I WAS LUCKY TO KNOW  HIM FOR 20 YEARS OF MY GUN DEALERSHIP AND I PURCHASED FROM HIM MANY HIS P[ISTOLS. GETTING OLDER I LIKE TO PASS THESE TWO  VERY RARE "KU" LUGERS TO THE "GOOD HOME" NEW OWNERS-COLLECTORS. THESE "KU" LUGERS ARE UNIC IN THE WAY THEY HAVE BEEN MADE. THERE IS SOME INFORMATION WE CAN REED OBOUT THEM FROM JAN C. STILL BOOK 
"THE PISTOLS OF GERMANY" VOLUME 5 pg.97.
FROM THIS BOOK WE KNOW THAT ESTIMATED PRODUCTION OF THESE LUGERS 41-42 CODE OVERLAP WITH BYF CODE AND S/42 CODE WAS 2,300. CODE 41-42 IS MUCH RARER CODE THAN OTHERS CODE, THEREFORE THIS PISTOL IS THE MOST DESIREABLE FROM OTHERS.
ALSO FROM THAT BOOK, WE KNOW THAT SOME LUGERS HAVE "KU" SUFFIX OR PREFIX ADDED TO THE SERIAL NUMBER.-, AND THE MEANING OF THE "KU" AND THE DESIGNATION OF THE LUGERS ON WHICH IT IS FOUND HAS LONG BEEN THE SUBJECT OF MANY SPECULATIONS. RANDALL GIBSON, IN HIS BOOK "THE KRRIEGHOFF PARABELLUM (pg.129-136), THOROUGHLY REVIEWS THE SUBJECT AND FINALLY CONCLUDES THAT THEY WERE MADE UP OF MAUSER PARTS AND PROBABLY ASSEMBLED FOR THE LUFTWAFFE. THE PROOF FOUND ON THESE LUGERS HAS THE APPEARANCE OF OTHER LUFTWAFFE MARKINGS AND IS LIKELY A LUFTWAFFE PROOF. 
AFTER ALL, THESE LUGERS WERE MADE DURING WW2 FOR THE NAZI'S ARMY, THEY ARE EXTREMELY RARE IN ALSO RARE EXCELLENT ORIGINAL CONDITION AND THEREFORE HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE LUGERS.
