GQMD 90

[DianaGaleM]

Several times, now, I've run across a backstamp of "GQMD 90" added to a piece of WMF "Patent 90" silver-plated flatware. I know what the WMF and "Patent 90" mean, but what does "GQMD" mean? It looks like it was possibly added later.

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

Can you post an image of the mark please?

Any chance the mark is a post-war reference for select NATO/Allies military production items (e.g. G QMD as Germany Quartermaster Depot)? [Of course, probably not for internal German military items.] There is Bavarian china topmarked for the US Army, although the useage is uncertain.
