I read thru the FAQ and I think I understand this right, but the squirrel mark was a spandau proofer assigned to the DWM factory? Did I get that right? Thanks.

I know on the BYFs, the inside is supposed to have a number pertaining to the serial, but on imperial DWMs? I don't see much of anything.

Last one! I won't hog up any more server space. I have plenty more photos of various other parts, if needed to identify or verify. Thanks, everyone!

That is an eagle, not a squirrel. It is the Imperial eagle firing proof, in the style used under Spandau(Berlin) oversight at DWM.

"Flaming squirrel" is more fun...as long as we know what it really is!

I would not put much stock in what ever else is there if they don't know an eagle from a squirrel.
