Whom do You Think Made this RG34 HKW?

Gents:

Found this HKW online for sale. Seller states it was recovered in the Stalingrad combat zone. Think I see a partial maker but what do others see...? BTW, was also viewing some YouTube videos on WW2 battlefield relic hunting. On one vid a guy recovered a quite rusted RG34. With little effort the tin literally crumbled away to reveal the contents. The alloy bead chain had turned into a rather stiff arrangement with the beads nearly having doubled in size, and looking like white fuzzy balls. The black phenolic oiler looked relatively unscathed and the bottom cap removed to reveal the liquid inside was still intact. The brushes also seemed to have survived as well. As for the HKW, don't know if it was missing or fell away when the case was literally cracked open.
