    No idea about the logo, but if you try it from a different approach, ie who the WaA stamp shows up against it might give a clue?
    Have a look here and scroll down to WaA 668 and it gives a likely looking candidate of Merz-werke, Frankfurt who it seems made MG ammo boxes? It may well be wrong but I guess it's a start - does the logo look like it could form, or incorporate, an 'M' or an 'MW' in it?
