Navy AE ?

Mike, from time to time artillery lugers surface with AE's stamped on the chamber, some stamped with A.F. Stoeger on the right side of the frame. These were post WW1 items, some reworked, for the commercial market by a money needy post war Weimar Republic. I have also heard of Luger carbines, usually 1902 models, with the AE crest (also Swiss Cross). I wouldn't be surprised to see the AE on a 1920 carbine. I have never (to date) heard of or have seen a Navy luger with an AE crest. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Keep your eyes open!
