The "K" could stand for the DWM plant in Karlsruhe

Here is a box of .22's that have the same symbol for a headstamp as is on your flair round. They are made by DWM in Karlsruhe.

Peter: Many thanks, for the information! Does your 22 cardboard box have any dates on it?

Regards

Carl,

Unfortunately there is no date on the box. What is interesting is that the shell cases are made of plated steel.

From my knowledge this ammo must be from the 1920-30`s but I have no spesific dates to confirm this
