An interesting KU Luger

Hugh, not a whole lot of info in my references on this. Aarron Davis in The Luger Handbook says the KU marked Lugers were made by Mauser but finished by Krieghoff for contractual reasons and then supplied to the the German Coastal Flying Service (KUstenfliegerstafflen) He also shows the eagle LA symbol, so much for Zivial, so many experts, so little agreement. We need Sherlock Holmes on this forum, or maybe Charlie Chan, they could unravel the mysteries of the Luger marking! That made me think of an old Holmes/Watson joke, he he.
