This again would point towards a Landjägerei marking. The Royal Prussian Landesgendarmerie was originally a military organization, but was 'transferred' to a non-combat organization after 1918, with a name change to 'Landjägerei' in june, 1920.

This could also explain the 'K' as 'Königliche' (Royal). Since the name change took place in 1920, it is not surprising to find it on 1920 property marked pistols.

In old German spelling you sometimes find the use of 'Landiägerei' rather than 'Landjägerei'. In turn, the letter 'i' was substituted by a reversed letter 'j'.
