Evidently not for guns produced under military contract. For military guns produced by DWM the "proofs" (inspector marks and firing/"power" proof) are Spandau markings according to Klaus. This makes sense as DWM as a private commercial enterprise should not have been in the position to "accept" their own products for the military. This requires us to get our head around a different terminology. "DWM" proofs would apply for commercial guns "proofed" by DWM in-house procedures. Miiltary guns, on the other hand would have "Spandau" proofs applied by government/military personnel.
Rich,
"Power" proof is what we would call a "firing proof" (the overload test)...same thing, different terminology.
