After spending over 10 years in Deutschland spread over 3 decades, and running a German corporation as Geshaftsfuerher und Prokurist,I can assure you that any German I have ever known would blow this sort of bureaucratic BS off and continue to go for das geld. The wonderful thing about German exactitude is they generally know when to apply it...to increase profit or to avoid serious downside penalties...to subscribe to the stereotypical characterization of Germans as perfectionis automotons makes about as much sense as believing all Japanese have bad eyes-W.W.II allied propaganda.

A misstamped die would be of no concern to a lederwarenfabrik; as evidence of how little concern die marking could be in wartime Germany, consider the well documented thousand or so Erfurt pistols stamped with the defective Crown on the toggle.

I rest my case.
