Kyrie: Dwight,
I'd be very interested in learning more on this subject. This mark is, in my experience, not often encountered. Is there any primary source information concerning the circumstances under which it was used? Absent primary source info, has there been any observable pattern in its usage?

Sturgess, red edition. Many references to the mark, pointing out its use as a primary inspector's stamp between 1900 and 1914, on many different parts, across all German production and production contracts. Evolutionary between the DWM "flaming bomb" and N inspector's marks.
