Not so quick. This stock is old and you can't fake age. I am pretty confident that it existed before reproductions were being made, like 50 or 60 years ago. When this stuff wasn't selling for anything more that a couple of bucks; who would make any, as it would have cost more than selling price. Also, more to come tomorrow when I get access to another Dr. Gortz book. And yes, this is all very interesting isn't it? We are working on items produced in a very different era under very different forces ending and starting in German production in industry and in government.
Thanks again to all involved.
