Shawn,

I read your first post and was a bit puzzled about the engraving, but now I get it.

The scrolled engraving on the top are actually the letters D, W and M. On some contract guns, where crests or other engravings were placed on the toggle (the bit where the DWM is stamped on, not engraved), the DWM logo was placed on the chamber, just before the barrel.

Funnily enough DWM (Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken) never registered their fancy DWM logo, but instead registered the DWM logo that I use as my 'avatar' (the image on the left).
