in Munich. These caps had leaden seals on them from the section of the RZM charged with this role and mission. The cap maker then was obliged to copy this prototype.
And, of course, there existed RZM specifications for the manufacture of items, which, famously does not include the specifications for the black cap.

I found a tag of the later type. Notice the RZM Materialpruefungsamt tag and seal, with the term Verarbeitungsmuster, i.e. the pattern as specification
in three dimensional form....this is a custom going back to the rise of standing armies in the 18th century.
