What are these proof marks?

Jim, Your above comments regarding the existance of LZAs (LuftZeugAmter) Air Force Repair Depots, as the Luftwaffe equivalent of the HZAs, has jogged my brain cells. Perhaps you have found the answer (maker) of the Ku lugers. Since these bear a unique "LA" or "LZA" final exceptance proofing, is it possible that the Luftwaffe assembled these PO8s in their own depots from Mauser and KH spare parts? I wonder if they had an LZa in a city that began with Ku with an umlaut? TH
