I am not very familiar with German (DDR ?) marks, can anyone put a date bracket on them? Last edited by Parabola; 07/13/23 04:36 PM.

Moving mfg west. So, you can bracket the mfg date by spring type as to where manufactured, and when. Out there doing it best I can.

The >>Outstanding << Quality / „Hervorragende Qualität“ stamp was to assure the end user that the longarm was composed of proper components. The Russians had been forcing them to make do with old machines and inferior components such that in 1952/1953, there was almost a revolt. The quality had dipped as well as the components and the „Hervorragende Qualität“ stamp and a few others were pressed into service. Serbus, Raimey rse
