Thanks, John...you really are a "slueth"...

Funny that there is no contact info. on the web site or a write-up on how the research was done/compiled...figured someone would want to take some credit for such efforts to collect the data and provide the web site...

I sent Mr. Wade an e-mail with my inquiry...

Hi,

Recently purchased a small 1960's booklet, published by DWM (yep, them) called 'Jagdbuechsen-Patronen, ballistische leistungen'.

Apart from ballistic info on DWM produced rifle rounds, it comes with 4 pages of common proof marks from most European proof houses (including the recently discussed L/flaming bomb Belgian proof).

The booklet was published during the time when DWM was being renamed IWK (currently part of IWKA) and I see them advertised for about 10USD on some sites.

An interesting booklet for anyone interested in European proof house markings.

One site that has them:
