KM Kriegsmarine markings which stamp during what period anchor over M

[compressore]

Anker

I'm surprised that these anchor with M symbols has been used till the late twenties if we take binoculars as a example so i have to change my first thoughts

I do know this from some bayonet collectors. The M over anchor can be found into the late 20ties.

For holsters of Parabellum pistols, the M over anchor can be found until 1932 !

I think it comes down to availability of new stamps......
A change in regulation sometime needs many years to be fully implemented and to reach the last company affected.
Same happened with the introduction for the eagle with swastika...needed also a couple of years.

See picture....from Militaria-Fundforum.

Therefore the stamps can not be used for determining a production year.

Also please note the Anchor and M was already used before the imperial navy !
