So I was watching this fudds video on the USP and it got me curious to the origins of my first USP.
I bought it used (obviously) from a gun store in 2005 and was told it was a "police demo gun"
The thing I find interesting is it's by far my oldest HK, but it's the only one without the "DE" marking, according to the fudd that means it is a non-100% german made USP, really fascinating as my P2000SK and P30L are both much newer and marked "DE"
Any massive HK autists got any insight? Pic very related - the worn roll mark on the left is the date mark and it's "KE".

Thanks but I'm more curious as the the manufacturing background - the "DE" mark is traditionally on the right side of the serial #, my other USP has it

DE marking is only for newer guns. Yours is German made.

appreciate it bros, I was kind of hoping there would be some more interesting history than that but oh well.
How hard is it to convert a Var 3 to a LEM?

Anyway, I thought DE just designated that slide was and it's parts were made in Germany. I have a HK45ct that I'm almost positive has DE markings on the slide but a frameindicating it was made in GA. This makes sense because the HK45 was purely a HK USA venture.

HK only manufactures guns in Germany. Whoever told you otherwise is wrong.

That's called an import mark. Rest assured that the entire gun was manufactured in Germany.
