Hello, I am trying to find out, from what date until what date, the M over anchor was used on German Navy equipment. I welcome facts and figures, based on items that are dated and stamped M over anchor. Please don't add opinions, just post facts.

I think a good indicator could be using marks on the bottom of Km shells these are always dated it's not scientific it's more like some back-up than a fact. I have no prove on paper when these marks has been released maybe others could shed some light on this subject how knows??????,........... -

Hallo,
From my observations it appears that stamped anchor over M is typical for Reichsmarine period. Looking at the daggers markings, anchor over M start right after the WW I with 1919 Model.Comment

This type of stamp is seen on M 1921 and ends with M 1929(photo)- until the early 30-s.Comment

I don't know if it's allowed to use the text from the website Fernglasmuseum but he's giving you some glue when this symbol has been introduced, i could recommend you to look at the website section Seltenis Artillerie Fernglas Der Reichsmarine CZJ D.F. 7x50
this symbol has been used in the beginning of the Reichsmarine period but was changed very quickly and replaced by the Reichmarine adler a few years later,...how long exactly i have no idea, but if you take this binocular as a example which has been made in 1918/19 and read that the symbol has been changed after one year after his official announcement i think we have to think about approximate 3/4 years maybe???
The text from the website;
Die Reichsmarine wurde offiziell am 1. Jänner 1921 eingeführt.
Die Marineabnahme der ersten Jahre war das "M" mit darunter
stehenden Ankersymbol. Erst später wurde das Ankersymbol
durch den Reichsadler ersetzt
Btw i have informed one of my friends but he has sold most of his shells but don't be afraid i'm still on the hunt for more info,....i'm interested as well as you in this subject
