I found this Luger on the attic

Lentojoukkojen teknillinen koulu, it means something like the Air Force Aviation Technology College, actually.
During the war it moved several times, to Kauhava only in 1945.

I don't know where you got this idea but IMHO this is much less plausible than my earlier explanation which was based on a 1930s document which, as I mentioned, included all such abbreviations.

Here is a link to another document listing the organization of the Finnish Army

On page 80 you will find LAs 6 which is also listed here as Lentoasema 6, Airbase 6. From 1934-36 it was Viipuri and 1937-38 Immola.
Lentojoukkojen teknillinen koulu is listed right after that, the official abbreviation is Le.Tekn.Koulu. Also "LAS" wouldn't make much sense as there is no letter "a" in the whole name...
