GERMANY and MADE IN GERMANY Marking

Not rigorously documented, but--

All the "made in Germany" stamps Ihave observed appear to have been stamped after the finish. They are often stamped very lightly, as the example above. The m-i-G stamps on hardened parts such as the receiver sometimes show metal displacement/eruption, even though halo may not be present. In the photo above, the m-i-G stamp is applied unevenly, and there appears to be a bit of halo above the deeper part of the stamp.
