Robert, how did you get a hold of the exact same stamp as on Vayolene's post? Even the same picture?

Just saw it on the internet Peter, and wondered if it was a common perfin.

And as perfin it had nothing to do with the Nazis!

If you take a look at the using period, you will see, that the Hintz Factory in Berlin started using it in 1912. But the swastika became the official sign of the Nazi Party not until 1920.

I remember a Swiss perfin as well showing a swastika - without any political intention. So it's "normal", yes! Just a symbol (like stars, anchors, elephants or whatever) used by the company to distinguish themselves from others.
