I don�t think that it�s an Offermann The font size is too small, and of the four I looked at (including an as new olive green 1942 example) all had stitching around the frog stud hole in the tie strap. L. Krum not a readable example, but I think that the 9 or 10 characters in the top line of the frog in question exclude that possibility. That also excludes the letter code examples. And most probably the L.L.G. types which are either stacked with the L.L.G on top, or placed lengthwise on the back piece as are the R.B. Nr. types.

The possibilities have not yet been exhausted as I have some not very readable examples to examine. But so far I�m not getting any positive hits. FP
