KM marking very close up

The Navy use of the pantograph is very interesting. Many of the "Altered" P04 Navies have the new Gesichert pantographed into place. This seems to be the primary technique used when the lower case letters follow the Uppercase G. note this is not always the case but most often. I have not collected enough observations yet to decide if the pantographing can be associated with a particular repair center or other characteristics of the repair, such as removal of the old mark.
