Hi Wolfgang, Thanks for showing your 1906 Navy. Apart from the issues you mention, it looks very nice indeed. That unit mark is authentic. It seems that the Wilhelmhaven dockyard had a pantograph engraving machine, and all the W.W. property marks I have seen have been cut with that distinctive rotary cutter. All the other units and dockyards stamped their marks. Regards, Norm
