The R.W.K./K.W.K. question remains. I believed that this was the manufacturers name, but perhaps not, maybe another code of some kind.

No..NOT another code of somekind. 3 letter codes were manufacturer codes , nothing more..nothing less.

Jim has deciphered it as seen above.. KWK, Manufacturer - Schnellpressenfabrik A.G., Location - Heidelberg, Eppelheimer Strasse 5-7. Lon

This according to the 800 page "Liste der Fertigungskennzeichen fur Waffen, Munition und Gerat." Berlin 1944 Gebruekt im Oberkommando des Heeres.

This volume contains thousands of maker codes..a very handy book to have on hand.

There can be NO RWK as the codes in 1944 stopped at O..There are no P-Q etc. so of course no R.
