Can't give you any real 'reason' other than I have seen them on many German engravings, daggers, swords, even coo-coo clocks. Apparently the German engravers like them. I know of no connection of them to any national emblem such as the eagle is attributed to the U.S. Many of them indlude acorns also. Interesting fact, there are really coo-coo birds in Germany, have heard them in the woods near the Wansee golf course in Berlin, they sound just like the clocks!
