Can anyone tell me about this German Marking???

[roblew2027]

Hi everybody! This is my first post, so I hope I did it correctly. I recently purchased what I believe to be a ~1930's German travel cocktail set. I wanted to learn more about it, but I can't find the markings anywhere online. Please let me know if you have seen this mark, and if you know any history about it!

Can you get the top mark as clear as your first pic showing "Germany?" Wouldn't mind seeing the actual object either.

There's a company called WMF Cromargan that uses a triangle mark with WMF inside. That looks similar but not exact.

Thanks for the replies! Unfortunately, I had the shaker shipped to my parents' house so I am at the mercy of my father's (lack of) picture taking skills. I've asked him to send a clearer shot of the triangle mark. I have seen some variations of the WMF, and it doesn't appear to be them...however a sharper picture will help. Adding a few pics of the travel set while I wait for mark pic. I'm also guessing that this may be an incomplete set (1 shaker, 1 juicer/strainer, 3 jiggers, and 1 container [possibly for garnish??])

I own what i believe to be an identical set - mine is WMF

Thanks, randazzo! I'm hoping when I get a clearer image of the triangle shaped mark I can confirm if it is WMF, as I've been very curious since most I have seen are marked D.R.G.M. Until then, could you tell me if your set has the same "G erman Y" mark on it?

I also notice every other one says "made in Germany." The way they spelled Germany is more than likely manufacturer specific. I have looked at every known WMF mark (and there's many) on the internet and none have that spelling feature.

Thanks, diggummup, I agree about the strange (likely manufacturer specific) Germany mark. Upload a final photo with the triangle mark. Pretty positive not WMF now. Mark appears to be a triangle with a "M" and a dot centered above...the hunt continues! (apologies on the sideways pic)
