Doug,
Sorry to disagree but, this is the way I understand it...
The 'Crown/gothic letter' is a military acceptance stamp. Different stamps, with the first letter of the inspectors last name, were assigned to each individual inspector. Many different letters can be found on WWI tools.
WWII military tools should have an acceptance stamp.
There are a few WWII era unmarked commercial tools but, would not be correct for a military rig.
Most unmarked tools are DWM (the shape is different) and are correct with military or commercial rigs.

Robert,
You probably have a C/Z marked tool.
