<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chris Marshall, post: 1960044, member: 206&quot;]Fürstenberg has one of the most complex marking systems around and I therefore rely on their own publications as common reference books either leave out or mix up far too much. You mentioned the often cited period 1918-1966 for example, that date range was for the non-country-including version only. The (blue) version with GERMANY was used between 1945 and 1964 (not 66), marks from of the year 1965 onward contained WEST GERMANY (later W. GERMANY).</p><p><br /></p><p>We can narrow that down a little further: from 1952 onward the factory wanted to add certain date indicators, finally starting in the year 1955. As your mark has no such addition, it was made between 1945 and 1954.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;01441&quot; is the original pattern designation. This generally overrules given names by importers/retailers as those may vary, depending on location. I&#039;m not a pattern guy so I will leave it to others as to answer the pattern type question (touched-up transfer comes to mind but WDIK).</p><p><br /></p><p>Source: Fürstenberg Markentafel (c) 2010[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
