C 96 Help

alanint -- Strictly speaking, it's not Ulm Proof House in context of early C96. However, Ulm Proof House is indeed related with old Oberndorf Proof House. In 1952, West Germany was allowed to make firearms, a new proof house was setup in Ulm in successor to the Oberndorf one. The antler is used by this new facility (from The Standard Directory of Proof Marks, page 55). So, Ulm is post WWII.
