I understand that the shield stamp is a DWM stamp and did not intend to suggest any direct connection between the stamp and the Freikorps.

Rather what I was suggesting in my speculation was DWM used the shield stamp as a substitute for the normal firing proof on the barrel to indicate clandestine acceptance by a non-government military/police custom, such as one of the Freikorps companies.
