Thank you, and awesome! Glad to hear. I'm just trying to understand that proof mark; I think the FAQ referred to it as some sort of squirrel, but a post by Klaus from 2012 was (I think?) calling it a Spandau proof, meaning an Erfurt inspector was assigned to the Spandau arsenal to oversee DWM production? I'm slightly confused on that part.

Of course we have flying squirrels. Doesn't your state??
