Does that made in W. Germany mean that it was manufactured in West Germany during the DDR era?

1. Yes

2. Yes, that’s exactly what it means.

3. Yes, most probably. Many companies continued to use this designation of origin in the first few years after the GDR’s accession.

4. Yes. That one was probably made before 1991.

5. Probably so. Rotring has been making some decent stuff for decades. Can’t get enough of their mechanical pencils.

6. Really makes you think where all the Geodreieck-handles went over the decades.

   Probably some liminal space

7. It could also produced after the fall of the gdr. Maybe they forget to change the design. Or: Some manufacturers of small screwdriver still use the old mold with w-germany today.
