Erfurt was a military arsenal rather than a commercial firm like DWM. Therefore military marking standards applied much more stringently to weapons production. My own personal theory is that being a government entity it was staffed with government personnel. Job security depended on demonstration of job performance so the inspectors made sure that their mark was applied whenever possible.
