K.M. Fraud for sale?

Pete, I understand the V banner on German Issued Lugers for the war. Stiill, according to the book, there were only 2 issues in 1930 that had the K.M. Stamp. The higest serial # in that issue was 1786. There was also a second type of KM stamp intended for the Dutch Marines, these would have been in 1929 and 1930 and the highest serial # n that issue was 1249. These would have had the KM mark over the chamber, and no Luger of this issue with a KM mark has been found. All the weapons had DWM toggles. Based on the information in the book, I believe that there were no K.M. Stamped Lugers after 1930 and certainly no Mauser Toggled Lugers manufactured in 1937would have a K.M. Stamp, especially since it ended up with the German forces, and not in the Dutch Royal Navy in the East Indies.
