Ron,

It appears that unit markings, and their identification, is not quite cut-and-dried. The "Annex 10" list on p.103 of G�¶rtz & Bryans lists the Allenstein Landjagerie school mark as LSAI. (period at the end is part of the mark, as listed). On the next page there is a photograph of a grip strap marking identified as Allenstein Landjaegerie school; the stamp is LS.AI.45. (note the middle period).

I find this particularly vexing as I have an H.P. marked 1929 Police Luger, with matching marked mag. The closest marking I can find to this is HP. (on the same list). This marking is identified as Senior Service Police Academy, and the marking on my Luger has been so identified, but there seems to be some disagreement about it.
