Well known maker marks on modern german Bundeswehr buttons

I thought this may be of interest for our zinky friends.

After looking carefully to some of my Bundeswehr uniform spare buttons I found these interesting and well know maker marks. At first "FLL" Friedrich Linden, Lüdenscheid with the three circles:

Second one is the Assmann "A" which you can find on many Bundeswehr qualification badges too:

Third one "OLC" from Overhoff & Cie. Lüdenscheid. They make also belt buckles and rank insignias today.

And finally two qualification badges (Tätigkeitsabzeichen) with the mark of Assmann...
