lugercarbine TY for the reply. Your reply is reassurring
I looked up Krupp and indeed you are right. The web site described it as 3 circles 'ontop' of each other, not interlinked as I thought. It has been their symbol since the late 1880's.

I do have some nice spares if any of the other board members require items - MG08 muzzle assembly, maxim ammo belts, 08/15 bipod and other ...
