A question about makers marks;

[stuka f]

hey all,
does the "4" just after the M on a makers mark stand for buckles in general?
What does the M stand for ?
And would the "5" be for button makers?
cheers

Kris, the "M" stands for metal then the number for the item, so 4 for buckles 1 for insignia etc

Thanks for your help Ben!
Would the code "M5/75/3" be correct on a political leader button?
M5/75 stands for Dr. Franke & Co. KG., Ludenscheid, according to the list Pierre had the courtesy to post; but what does the "/3" stand for?
